Status Updates From Cambridge Latin Course Book...

Ok so I feel like I could become literate by the end of the year if I really lock in and also remember to actually read Latin texts

The diners reclined on the couches, leaning on their left elbow and taking food from the table with their right hand. Diners ate the food [cut up beforehand by a slave] with their fingers or a spoon. Forks were not used by the Romans. Not all Romans reclined when eating dinner, but it was usual among rich or upper-class families. Less wealthy people, slaves, children, and sometimes women would eat sitting up.

"An important Roman dress was toga [; a very large
piece of woolen cloth arranged in folds]. This hot and unwieldy garment was valued because only citizens could wear it."

"A woman didn't have full control over her own life. Her
father would choose her husband, usually an older man, and she may
have had little say in the decision. She would normally be married by
the age of 20, and daughters in upper-class or very rich families were sometimes given in marriage as young as 12. The law gave most fathers control over their daughters, even after the daughter was married."

"Only a Roman citizen would have three names (e.g. Lucius Caecilius Iucundus). A slave would have just one, such as Clemens or Grumio."
