Classical Antiquity M.A. (Latin translation) Reading List

Candidates for the degree in Classical Antiquity who intend to be examined in Latin translation create their own reading list, which must be approved by the Associate Chair of Graduate Studies. The general principle is that you choose half of what used to be the M.A. Latin reading list, printed below. You must submit your list for approval by the end of your second semester in the M.A. program.
