The 54 page reader with Introduction and Select Vocabulary introduces students to Cornelius Nepos and his acclaimed biography of his friend and fellow scholar, Atticus. It is noteworthy that Nepos was the first to write a biography of someone still living. The text is illustrated and features vocabularies facing each page of text. Exercises are included as well, e.g., work in Derivatives. Included is a separate Translation Key complete with Discussion Questions for each section of the 14 sections of the text.
