Stephen Jenkin has just made Books 1, 2 and 3 of his Imperium Latin course available free of charge to all via TES Resources, in the form of downloadable pdf files.

The course follows the life of the Emperor Hadrian, an intellectual of the first rank, an architect without parallel and a traveler who made many fascinating journeys across the empire. The story becomes a potent mix when you throw in his dubious relationship with Trajan, a wife who hated him, the dark business of Antinous and his strange and obsessional behavior in later life.

The linguistic sequence was designed to rely on the present tense for as long as possible, a technique which has been found successful by many modern language teachers. The hardest clauses and constructions are kept back until later, so the exercises remain accessible. Imperium is rigorous and includes exercises of English into Latin in every chapter, though there is often an overlap between the Latin to English and English to Latin, which makes it possible to lift some of the answers, as well as a full set of MP3 exercises, which can equip either student or teacher to prepare for a class.
