Suetonius's Life of Divus Iulius provides a miscellany of 'facts' from Julius Caesar's life. We discover the origin of veni vidi vici, meet his lovers, see him scorning religion, learn of his oratorical skills and follow him to his assassination on the Ides of March. Anyone with a sound basic knowledge of Latin will be able to cope with Suetonius's prose. Participants will be encouraged to contribute to translating the text, discussing its contents and style and so enjoy an action-packed weekend.
