The Stories
in aula Salvii Page 126
Salvius, now installed in the palace of the late King Cogidubnus, steps up his extortion of the Britons, and his plotting continues... Who's next on his hit-list?
cena Salvii Page 129
Salvius "entertains" his ally, Belimicus, to a private dinner in the palace. Will Belimicus get a chance to put a request in for a raise, or does Salvius have something up his toga-sleeve to stop him in his tracks? Sauce anyone?
Belimicus rex Page 131
King Belimicus! Can this be true? Or is something fishy going on with the garum sauce? We bid vale to Roman Britain and Book III, but only au revoir to Salvius... he'll be back!
Practising the Language

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.
