Classical to the Core, part 2: Nomina

Part 2 of the presentation delivered at ACTFL 2013 in Orlando.
Read the Introduction to “Classical to the Core.”

This part of the presentation shows how primary sources (texts, coins, and inscriptions) can be used to introduce beginning students to Roman naming conventions. Note that this is not a ready-to-use lesson, but rather a set of ideas that can be adapted for your class. If you download the Keynote or PowerPoint version, please be sure to read the presenter notes. Warning: The presentation was created in Keynote; the PowerPoint version may be glitchy (and you’ll miss the fiery transition of Scaevola), but you should be able to get the idea.
