Witness the Roman practice of the salutatio - the morning visit. Join the mass of clients outside Haterius' house, hoping each day to receive some favour from their patron. Two new arrivals to the city can only stop and stare in amazement...
salutatio II Page 46
The strangers knock at Haterius' door, but his door-keeper is less than impressed. So who is this mysterious Greek girl accompanied by her slave?

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.

Practising the Language exercises are digital versions of exercises in the Cambridge Latin Course textbooks.
