A display of ancient military and domestic living history. (Note that this is not an officially-sponsored NOVA ROMA event, but it is most certainly endorsed and recommended. Many NOVA ROMANS are expected to attend; those who did so last year can testify that it was highly enjoyable and an excellent learning experience.)

In the summer of 1999 the Department of Classics at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville) will again offer Latin as one of the University's Summer Foreign Language Institutes. The program, which will take place from June 14 through August 13, is an intensive course designed to cover two years of college-level Latin (12 UVa credit hours earned). Students who wish to acquire experience in reading Latin but do not require course credit may also choose a non-credit option, which is available at a lower tuition rate. No previous knowledge of Latin is required for participation. The Summer Latin Institute is an excellent opportunity for motivated students to achieve rapid proficiency in Latin.
A unique feature of the Summer Latin Institute at UVa is its housing option. The Latin House is supervised by a House Director who is also an instructor competent in the language. Evening study sessions, special activities, and assistance on assignments are all available at the Latin House, where students have ready access to reference materials and other study aids. The Latin House is located near the University's grounds, within walking distance of classes and the Corner District, where there is a variety of stores and eateries. Members of the program may purchase a Corner Meal Plan, valid at many restaurants on the Corner and around Charlottesville. The Latin House is also equipped with kitchen facilities. The cost of housing will not exceed $17.50 per diem.
