CENA ROMANA MMXVII
Our
annual Roman Banquet! The big Latin event for third quarter (or for the
whole year)!
Your chance to try food cooked according to ancient recipes and have fun with
your Latin class friends outside of class.
Date: Saturday, February 25
Time: 5:00 to 7:00 pm (cooks will need to show up earlier,
of course)
Place: Get a map from Magistra when you sign up & pay
Cost: $5.00 (My
husband finds great bargains, but food still costs something!) If the
cost is a hardship, see me after class.
Extra credit: Your biggest opportunity for extra credit for 3rd
quarter!

updating, but the rest is the same.
You'll want to dress the part, of course. You don't need a toga, but you do
need a tunic. We'll briefly discuss Roman clothing in class, but you can
also check out these links on ancient clothing:

And if you lost the how-to-make-a-tunic
sheet I handed out in class: tunic
(Not
a pretty handout, I agree. But it works.
One of these days I’ll find the time to redraw it and make it look
better.)
