Have you ever wondered what Quintus' Caecilius' or Cornelius' home in Southern Italy looked like? Or what Aeneas saw when he landed at Cumae? Take a study tour that will introduce you to the Campanian area of Italy, to Rome and to Florence. While in Campania you will see villae with their fabulously recreated gardens. Baiae is located on the Bay of Naples. You will be able to visit the Roman resort towns of Herculaneum and Pompeii which were destroyed ONLY ONE YEAR before the Cornelian's story began, during the time of Caecilius and shortly after the family farm of Quintus was confiscated.

Travel along the Via Appia like Quintus and the Cornelii do on the way to Rome. You, too, will see the Tomb of Caecilia Metella. Once in Rome, take the same walking tour that Marcus Sextus, Uncle Titus and Eucleides took in Ecce Romani and that Quintus and his Dad take in the Oxford Latin Course on their first night in Rome (The Servian Wall, Circus Maximus, Palatine Hill, Forum, the Curia, et multa alia aedificia!).

Three master teachers and experienced travelers will lead a group of teachers to Italy to gather the experiences and materials necessary to teach Latin from the most popular Latin texts available (Cambridge, Longman, Oxford and Jenny). The leaders of this study tour have over fifteen years of teaching experience with the above texts as well as other series no longer in print.

Throughout the tour every effort will be made to point out how certain places, artworks, etc. fit into the curriculum of the different textbooks so that every teacher will leave Italy not only with pictures but also with successful lesson plan ideas used by the teachers involved. A secondary purpose of the program is to acquaint teachers with travel in Italy so that they can bring their own students in the future.

As a closing gesture, the leaders will collect pictures and sample lesson plans from the participants and make them available for downloading on their own WWW page.
