[Sammy · Rating 5 out of 5]

In which the banker, Caecilius, and his family live their wacky lives in the final days of Pompeii. From the travails of a new slave, to the exciting story of young Quintus' infancy, through a gladiatorial riot and an election, all leading up to that disastrous day in the year 79. (Although, not really the year 79 probably, but that's for the classroom.)

Grammatical concepts in the first volume include the nominate, accusative and dative cases, adverbs, questions, adjectives, verbs with subject suppressed, questions, and prepositional use of the ablative. The cultural material includes Roman religion and art, the lives of men and women, theatre, slaves, gladiators, elections, and education.

Highly recommended with the accompanying Teacher's Handbook
