What you will study

The field of Latin focuses on Roman literature and culture in the broadest sense from the 3rd century before Christ until Late Antiquity (6th/7th century AD). In contrast to modern philology, however, the focus is not limited to literature in a strict sense but also includes philosophical and scientific texts.
