Description

This selection from Caesar's Gallic War, intended for use in schools, includes the following passages in Latin: Book IV, chapters 20-36, and Book V, chapters 8-23. These cover Caesar's expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC. Eight explanatory sections in English, with maps, palns and notes give the student an opportunity to become familiar with Roman Britain and to follow up with project work n that background area. The Latin text is supplemented by an introduction and textual notes on the text in English aid the comprehension of the Latin.
