Authors: Harrison, S. J.
Abstract: Juvenal is a great Latin poet, but his text is not as well preserved as
those of (say) Vergil and Horace. Many problems remain in modern
editions, and this article confirms or identifies some of the remaining
problems and makes some suggestions for solutions. I cite the revised
OCT of Clausen (1992) as perhaps the most widely used text.; 1.170-1:
experiar quid concedatur in illos
quorum Flaminia tegitur cinis atque Latina.; These well-known lines about attacking only the dead seem to state
that Romans of the past are buried under the Via Flaminia and the Via
Latina; but there are several problems here.

Abstract: It has become fashionable to raise an
eyebrow at the contention that the ancient
Greeks were an exceptional civilization.
Yet, we all agree that to them we owe our
notions of democracy, of logic, of drama,
of history … and much more, and that
at a certain point in time, it was their
penchant for enquiry that enabled the level
of civilization in the Mediterranean to be
raised to an unprecedented level.2015-01-01T00:00:00ZPharmaceutical Latin [Book review]https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/1410742025-11-11T06:17:14Z2015-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Pharmaceutical Latin [Book review]
Abstract: This excellent and very useful book has two aims: teaching Latin and
Medicine. The delight achieved in reading it is, therefore, twofold
from beginning to end. It does not attempt to teach Latin before
Pharmaceutical terms, nor the latter before the former. It teaches both
disciplines in a clear way through plenty of illustrations, the source
of which are provided at the end of the book. The inclusion of these
illustrations is made possible thanks to the largeness of the pages.
Its pedagogical method is that of teaching through exercises, which
include quizzes, crossword puzzles and simple exercises, like those of
finding synonyms and opposites, translations and giving the correct
grammatical forms.2015-01-01T00:00:00ZThe social status of Roman land surveyors [Book review]https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/1410442025-11-10T13:10:58Z2015-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The social status of Roman land surveyors [Book review]
