8:19Now PlayingIt's time for more Latin vocabulary! If you want to read the classical authors, you will have to understand vocabulary relating to time. This includes the seasons, months of the year, and days of the week. It's also good to know where these names came from, as they are all cultural references. We should also know how to read a Roman calendar, so that we can finally know what Ides of March really means! And then lastly, it will be important to be able to read Roman numerals, so let's cover that too.
