Vocabula Picta: An Illustrated Latin Lexicon for the Modern World

Floreat lingua Latina! This Latin picture dictionary is the perfect resource for using Latin in the modern world. Arranged thematically, the vocabulary is easily accessible to students during written and spoken exercises. Product Description: This Latin lexicon provides illustrated definitions for hundreds of Latin vocabulary words. The selection creates a bridge between the ancient and modern world by including vocabulary as used in Classical Latin, as well as words for modern things and ideas. Words are arranged thematically so that they can be accessed easily during written and spoken activities in the classroom. The lexicon can be used as a personal resource or as a classroom reference set for students. Students can quickly refer to vocabulary when participating in an exercise, or teachers can use the selections to teach vocabulary that is useful in both ancient and modern contexts. Illustrations, rather than English definitions, encourage students to understand the vocabulary in the target language without relying on another language. Indices are provided at the end of the booklet, categorized by grammatical form for exercises that require particular types of words.
