Before Cogidubnus takes the healing waters in the baths, he must make a sacrifice and consult the soothsayers to see if the omens are favourable. Will the signs be good or bad? Only Memor can say...
We return the story of King Cogidubnus, his wish to seek a cure for his illness at Aquae Sulis, and Salvius' plan to poison him. Memor, an accomplice in the assassination attempt, must now act in his capacity as haruspex - a soothsayer. But will he warn Cogidubnus of the murderous plot against him?
The Stories
in thermis II Page 39
It's time. Everything is in place - the king, the assassin, the poisoned cup... but will Cogidubnus drink from the chalice? Once more into the baths!
epistula Cephali Page 42
You've got mail! A letter to the King... from Cephalus! Will it reveal the truth behind the assassination attempt? Will it name names? Is anyone safe?
Britannia perdomita Page 44
Cogidubnus confronts Memor and Salvius. It seems that they are both in trouble... but there's a twist in the tale. It's not so much Rule Britannia as Britain under Roman rule!
Practising the Language
Activities for vocabulary revision and language practice:
Test your Vocabulary is against the clock and can be set to all words in this stage, up to this stage, etc.
Word Endings exercises are based on the Practising the Language section in the Books, and follow this format. Click here for more information.
Word Endings activities are based on the Practising the Language section of each Stage, and all follow the same format. The user is given a sentence in English together with the same sentence in Latin, but with one or more endings to be chosen from a drop down list. In most exercises the endings omitted are restricted to one particular part of speech (noun, verb or adjective). For this type of exercise language information is provided. This can be called up by the user at any time by clicking on LANGUAGE INFO. But in some exercises, all noun, verb and adjective endings are omitted. For this more demanding exercise, LANGUAGE INFO provides only reference to the relevant pages of the Cambridge Latin Course.
Sorting Words asks you to sort words by meaning, case, etc.
Practising the Language exercises are digital versions of exercises in the Cambridge Latin Course textbooks.
