Description

It wasn't just under-floor heating, hot baths and roads that the Romans did first and best...Remember Latin translation? All those arrows and ramparts, and centurions forever striking camp...Let's cut straight to the fun part. Forget about battles and spears and rediscover all the best bits of Latin love poetry - from Ovid's tips on picking up girls and how to get away with cheating, to Catullus on how to deal with a broken heart and Virgil's textbook case of how not to dump a girlfriend. "Latin Love Lessons" is the perfect sequel to "Amo, amas, amat" - an approachable frolic around Roman romance. Pep up your love life with help from the original Latin lovers.

Media Reviews

Higgins takes the reader on a romp through the naughty bits of ancient verse, from the lewd epigrams of Catullus through to Ovid's instructions to the lover. As she points out...whatever Cosmopolitan might think, Virgil said it better. . . . A funny, gloriously erudite and charming book.--Scotland on Sunday
