As you continue your journey to mastering Latin through reading the Passio Perpetuae et Felicitatis, you will build your vocabulary through the Verba by studying them, then seeing the words in context in the Passio Perpetuae et Felicitatis, the Litterae, and the Exercitationes.  The Grammatica will explain the following topics:

  • Perfect Subjunctive
  • Pluperfect Subjunctive
  • Conditions
  • Cum Clauses

 

 

    

You will have an opportunity to practice these grammar concepts in the Exercitationes.  The passages in the Litterae have also been adapted to include these constructions.  The passage from Luke describes the trial of Jesus before Pilate; the passage from Ovid recounts Orpheus' journey to the Underworld; and the passage from Tertullian tells of the discrimination that Christians faced when they were put on trial.  These texts have been chosen to give some context to the events in Perpetua's story.  In this Unit you will read paragraphs 6, 7, and 8 from the Passio.
