Course Description: Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? The famous words of Cicero echo down through the centuries. But who was Catiline, and what was Cicero up to when he gave his immortal speech against him? And how does the Latin of the speech work? In this Latin reading course, we will take a close look at this incredibly famous work of Cicero's, with particular attention to the language and the greater historical context. Ideal for those just beginning to read real Latin, or for those looking to get back into Latin literature after a hiatus.
