Julius Caesar's De Bello Gallico is a clear, straightforward account of his campaigns against the Gauls in seven books, covering the period 58 to 52 BC. Book II deals with his campaigns against the Belgae, Bellocai, Nervii and Aduatuci.This school edition gives the Latin text of Book II of De Bello Gallico, with an Introduction giving background information on Gaul, the military situation, the Roman army, Caesar himself, and his book. It also includes come comments on pronunciation and translation, extensive grammatical notes and a useful vocabulary.

First published by Macmillian in 1964, this book is designed to introduce students to a wider range of Latin poetry than they would encounter in a simple author prescription. The first century BC is represented by Lucretius and Catullus, the Augustan era by Virgil, Horace and Ovid, and the Silver age by Juvenal and Martial. Passages are chosen for their own intrinsic interest - Ovid on Romulus and Remus, Juvenal on the dangers of Rome at night, the sheild of Aeneas from Virgil's Aeneid VIII ; they cover a wide variety of genres and styles – both Satires and Odes of Horace, elegiacs from the Fasti and hexameters from the Metamorphoses of Ovid. There are extensive notes on language and content, an introduction on metre and a full vocabulary.
