AP Latin Caesar texts


Please go to the Latinum Website, at

  Latinum.org.uk


Latinum has created a suite of Caesar material  that covers almost all of the
required ground for Caesar for AP. The audio materials make it easy for a student
to revise the text over and over again - it is easier to listen to a
text multiple times, than to re-read it multiple times in the book.
The Latin-English-Latin literal translations make dictionary work
unnecessary, as the student first approaches the text with the literal
translation, before studying it intensively in Latin only, until it is
familiar.
AP Caesar requirements are:
Caesar, Gallic War
Book 1: Chapters 1-7
Book 4: Chapters 24-35 and the first sentence of Chapter 36 
            (Eodem die legati . . . venerunt.)
Book 5: Chapters 24-48
Book 6: Chapters 13-20
