	Latin literature. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The notable historian of the age was Livy.
		The Latin language became the standard language of the West and by far the greater bulk of medieval literature as well as records, documents, and letters was written in Latin (see patristic literature; Medieval Latin literature; Roman law).
		Latin literature, as such, is nearly dead, for its cultivation is limited to the ever-narrowing circles of classicists and to the Roman Catholic Church, which adds new matter to the liturgy only rarely and confines use of extraliturgical Latin to official, nonliterary documents.

	Silver Age of Latin literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Literature from the Silver age has traditionally, perhaps unfairly, been considered inferior to that of the Gold age.
		Because the term silver implies this period is inferior to the Gold age, this division isn't used as often as it once was, and other divisions are preferred nowadays.
		Silver Latin itself may be subdivided further into two periods: a period of radical experimentation in the latter half of the first century AD, and a renewed Neoclassicism in the second century AD.

	Golden Age of Latin literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The golden age of Latin literature, in Latin Latinitas aurea, is a period consisting roughly of the time from 75 BC to AD 14, covering the end of the Roman Republic and the reign of Augustus Caesar.
		Classical Latin continued to be used into the Silver Age of Latin literature, the 1st and 2nd centuries.
		In prose, Golden Age Latin is exemplified by Julius Caesar, whose Commentaries on the Gallic Wars display a laconic, precise, military style; and by Marcus Tullius Cicero, a practicing lawyer and politician, whose judicial arguments and political speeches, most notably the Catiline Orations, were considered for centuries to be the best models for Latin prose.

		The Barbarous and Uncultivated Age; the Middle Age; the Golden, the Silver, the Brass, and the Iron Ages.
		The Golden Age of the Latin language began in the time of Cicero, and finished with the reign of Augustus; so that, without a metaphor, it is but an Age.
		The Silver Age, which commences at the death of Augustus, and terminates with Antonine the Pious, was very fruitful in excellent compositions ; but its language began to lose somewhat of its richness and its purity, in spite of the indefatigable Quintilian, who vainly attempted to revive the Golden Age.

	Latin II, Second Half Unit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The next major phase of Latin literature gets its name from the fact that modern scholars deem that its literary efforts, while impressive, are less daring and enthusiastic, thanks to a now entrenched imperial government that generally frowns on self-expression and to an infatuation with rhetorical devices.
		One of the Silver Age’s most prolific writers and men of philosophy, Lucius Annaeus Seneca, also had the misfortune of being the tutor of one of Roman history’s most psychopathic rulers—Nero, who was said to have played the flute (not the fiddle) while Rome burned in a great fire in AD 66.
		Latin literature, owing, as you know, a great debt to the Greeks, was populated by a number of philosophies and philosophers who wrote out their views for wider consumption in dialogues or treatises.

		Latin teachers LIVE to see Latin on the news, so the second this was announced up it went in our Latin classes.
		One of those interests in the upper classes is reading the Vulgate and the Early Church Fathers, both of which demand the earlier classes in Classical Latin (which is the foundation of all Latin grammar: the grammar is exactly the same, in order to understand one you have to understand the foundation first).
		While the vocabulary may have had to change in Church Latin to add people who were not living when the Golden Age of Latin Literature occurred, you can see that the Church Fathers themselves were steeped in the very literature you will be studying, and one grammar underlies it all.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: The Golden Age of Islam is a Myth by Serge Trifkovic
		The myth of an Islamic Golden Age is needed by Islam’s apologists to save it from being damned by its present squalid condition; to prove, as it were, that there is more to Islam than the terrorism of Bin Laden and the decadence of the oil sheiks.
		To be fair, the myth of the golden age of Islam does have a partially valid starting point: there were times in the past when Moslem societies attained higher levels of civilization and culture than they did at other times.
		This "golden" period in question largely coincides with the second dynasty of the Caliphate or Islamic Empire, that of the Abbasids, named after Muhammad’s uncle Abbas, who succeeded the Umayyads and ascended to the Caliphate in 750 AD.
