520			_a"Puer Romanus" by R. B. Appleton and W. H. S. Jones is a Latin reader designed for students, written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a bridge between beginner texts and actual Latin literature, aiming to enhance comprehension through narrative and conversation exercises. The book introduces Lucius, a Roman boy of twelve, who narrates his life experiences, family background, and education within the context of ancient Roman culture. The opening of the text sets the stage for Lucius's story, where he begins by introducing his family—his father Sextus Cornelius Pollio, mother Terentia, and siblings—and describing their daily life in Rome. He shares his experiences with a strict teacher who emphasizes learning over play and outlines his education, including the study of Latin poets like Horace and Virgil. Lucius's narrative not only covers his home life but also touches upon broader aspects of Roman society, including political structures and customs. This first glimpse into Lucius's life provides an engaging introduction to the cultural and educational fabric of ancient Rome. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
