Doctor Who: Fires of Pompei

[prillalar]

In the words of the great Cicero: Caecilius est pater. Metella est mater. Quintus est filius. Okay, really those were the words of the Cambridge Latin Course, Unit 1, where we followed the lives of a Pompeian family, which were generally unexciting, until the end of the unit, when Vesuvius began erupting and multi in flammis peribant.

I thought about them when I saw the preview for this week's episode. I didn't expect to actually see them in this week's episode. *geek love*

Otherwise, no deep thoughts. Episode = fabulous.

Excellent -- could you please tell me the name of the text? My son should learn Latin, and he's just going into Middle School. :-D

Thanks!

Oh, duh... Hal said the same, though I guess I thought she went to Cambridge and took the course when I read it. *facepalms*
