This book pokes delightfull fun at phrasebooks, latin, and Roman history and culture. It is chock full of in jokes and is one of the few written texts that has me laughing aloud in the middle of the cafeteria.

A Good Buy for the Latin Teacher

This is a great compilation of Latin adages, some authentic, some invented. Although its practical value is questionable, it is worth its weight in gold to the high school Latin teacher. It lends itself to providing comic, tragic, dirty, and sometimes down-right rotten humor.
