Two Latin Plays for High-School Students

This collection presents two original Latin dramas crafted especially for the secondary classroom. The first piece, a lively Roman wedding, puts students right into the bustle of ancient festivities, letting them practice dialogue while glimpsing customs of marriage, family, and humor in the empire. The second play explores a Roman school, giving a window onto daily life and the challenges of learning in that era.

Beyond the scripts, the volume includes helpful tools: clear guides to the special characters needed for authentic Latin spelling, and pop‑up notes that explain typographical quirks. A musical excerpt linked to a MIDI file brings the wedding celebration to sound, and the accompanying Lilypond file lets teachers adapt the music for modern programs. Designed with teachers in mind, the plays aim to break the monotony of textbook drills and invite students to experience Latin as a living language.
