You may wish to address such topics as typical foods and food preparation, differences in dining between the upper and lower classes, the form and courses of a typical cena, and the entertainment. You may use a standard essay format, write a detailed invitation, create a menu for a party or a "Roman" restaurant, present a cooking show. LINKS: i. Cookbook of Apicius. Yes, the recipes are all in Latin, but some of them are quite short. Use this Latin dictionary for help, or at least look for vocabulary that you recognize. For example, if you click on the fourth heading "Pandecter," you will see that the first recipe contains "apium," which we've just learned is parsley. ii. More Catullus online: check out poem 12 for more about dining by the author of "Cenabis bene, mi Fabulle, apud me," (poem 13) which we translated in class. Nota bene: These translations are old-fashioned. Go to the top of the poem page where it says "Version"; open that box and click on the Smithers edition. Then click "Change now" in the gray box to the right of the little white window. You'll be glad you did. iv. Roman dining customs: excellent source. b. Write about the entertainment available in ancient Rome. You could be a journalist a chariot race or a high stakes gambler. Describe the entertainment presented during a fancy Roman banquet. Put on a Roman talent show. LINKS: iii. Ball games. iv. Board games. Nota bene: take the writing seriously. Tips here. |

Catullus Be sure to review via the Catullus page directly. See the link above and to your left. Here are the essay questions. 1. Catullus 73 & 77: "In both of these poems, Catullus attempts to create great sympathy for himself in six lines. Compose an essay in which you compare and contrast how he does this in each poem. You may wish to consider such elements as choice of words and images, metrical effects, figures of speedh, and the structure of the poems." (AP Latin Literature Exam 1995) 2. Catullus 50: "In the poem above, Catullus describes a day during which a writing contest took place. In a well-organized essay, discuss the nature of the day's activities, the effects they had on Catullus, and the relationship between the two friends." (AP Latin Literature Exam 1996) 3. Catullus 51 & Sappho fragment 2: In a well-developed essay, compare and contrast Catullus 51 with its Sapphic model. You may wish to consider such elements as word choice figures of speech, imagery. Evaluate in particular Catullus's innovations and his possible reasons for making these changes. More versions of Sappho 2; the translation given out in class is no longer available online. 4. Catullus 96 & 101: In these poems Catullus discusses both his own grief and another's in the face of death. Compare and contrast the two poems in a well-composed essay. You may wish to consider word choice, meter, imagery. As you read the poems, which person is suffering most, and why do you conclude this? You would do well to make reference to Catullus 3 in your essay. AP guidelines indicate, "BE SURE TO REFER SPECIFICALLY TO THE LATIN . . . TO SUPPORT YOUR ESSAY. Do NOT simply summarize what the poem says." |
