Summary "Two Latin Plays for High-School Students" by Susan Paxson is a collection of original Latin plays written in the early 20th century. The book is designed to engage high school students in the study of Latin by offering them a unique way to experience and understand Roman life through drama. The plays included in this collection specifically focus on two significant aspects of Roman culture: education, as seen in "A Roman School," and the tradition of marriage in "A Roman Wedding." In "A Roman School," students engage with their Latin studies through lively interactions and exercises within a classroom setting that reflects Roman educational practices. The characters, including notable historical figures like Cicero and Julius Caesar, showcase their youthful personalities and aspirations, highlighting themes of ambition and camaraderie among the students. In contrast, "A Roman Wedding" captures the ceremony of a betrothal and marriage through the eyes of the bride, Tullia, and her family. This play portrays the various customs and rituals associated with Roman weddings, providing insight into familial relationships and societal expectations during that period. Together, these plays serve as practical tools for teaching Latin while promoting a deeper appreciation of ancient Roman culture among students. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
