The fully updated 7th edition has 48 additional pages of content:

• Expanded comments on vocabulary and translation tips

• All new authentic classical Latin readings, including Roman graffiti, in every chapter • Additional notes on each chapter’s reading passages to provide fuller insight on Roman culture and literature • New comprehension and discussion questions

• Dozens of new photographs and drawings, as well as numerous formatting and design updates make the book more visually appealing

Additionally, the Wheelock’s website, teacher’s guide, and other ancillaries have also been updated and expanded in conjunction with this new edition, and. the teacher’s guide uses cutting edge technology to keep answer keys more secure than ever.
