Ecce Romani

A series of introductory classical Latin textbooks for middle or high school level. Features humorous (whether intentionally or not) readings about the adventures of the family of Gaius Cornelius, a Roman senator, at the beginning of the first century A.D. Other characters include: Aurelia, Cornelius's wife; Marcus and Cornelia, their son and daughter; Sextus, a troublesome boy who is living with the family; Davus, the overseer of the family's country estate; Flavia, Cornelia's best friend; Eucleides the Greek tutor; Geta, a runaway slave; Valerius, Cornelia's husband 15 years her senior, and Uncle Titus, the worst arbiter bibendi of all time.

Literally translated, "Ecce Romani" means, "Look! Romans!"
"Where'd you get those Latin skills?"
"Ecce Romani, word!"

"Oh, man! Our carriage has been stuck in a ditch for nine days! This is an Ecce Romani-esque scenario."

Robyn

Fit, fun, feisty… need I say more? She’s totally cool obviously and she’s super arty. A friend to all and a real social butterfly, she’s just the best. Used to be shy but has now found her people in life and can absolutely drink everyone under a bus. Robyn’s are normally really short… tell me I’m wrong? Everyone is friends with Robyn and she never has a bad word to say about her friends. She’s fabulous darling!

'The boy wasn't legally Roman (a citizen of Rome or immediately descended from the Romans), but he was Roman in character. It would personally make more sense for a person who is Roman in character to be a true Roman than another who lacks it to be one.'
