	Latin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Latin is also still used (drawing heavily on Greek roots) to furnish the names used in the scientific classification of living things.
		Latin is a synthetic inflectional language: affixes (which most times encode more than one grammatical category) are attached to fixed stems to express gender, number, and case in adjectives, nouns, and pronouns, which is called declension; and person, number, tense, voice, mood, and aspect in verbs, which is called conjugation.
		Latin itself, being a very old language, is far closer to Proto-Indo-European than are most modern Western European languages; it has, in fact, about the same relationship with PIE as modern Italian or French has to Latin.

	Encyclopedia: Golden Age of Latin Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The golden age of Latin literature (Latinitas aurea) is a period consisting roughly of the time from approximately 75 BC to 14 AD, covering the end of the Roman Republic and the reign of Augustus Caesar.
		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.
		Vulgar Latin (in Latin, sermo vulgaris) is a blanket term covering the vernacular dialects of the Latin language spoken mostly in the western provinces of the Roman Empire until those dialects, diverging still further, evolved into the early Romance languages â€” a distinction usually assigned to about the ninth century.

	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.
		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.
		Some writers of the silver age include Petronius, Seneca, Phaedrus, Persius, Quintilian, Lucan, Statius, Tacitus, Martial, Juvenal, Pliny the Younger, Suetonius, Aulus Gellius, and Apuleius.

		What we call "Classical Latin" was, in fact, a highly stylized and polished written literary language selectively developed from early Latin, of which we have far fewer remains.
		The earliest Latin literature, such as Cato the Elder, Plautus and to some extent Lucretius, differs from the Latin of the "Golden Age" to some degree.
		The spoken Latin of the Roman Empire, especially from the second century forward, is generally called vulgar Latin.

		The history of Latin literature would appear to a neutral observer to be a tale of humble beginnings, early success, modest progress, and then explosive growth and lasting success unexampled in history west of the Indus River.
		The pattern familiar to generations of swotting graduate students from the Duffs and their ilk is one of a dim archaic past, a golden age, a silver age, and then (depending on the generosity and imagination of the narrator) perhaps a perfunctory tailpiece stretching past the age of Constantine as far as Boethius.
		The revival of Latin literature in the fourth century is thus as deliberate and artificial as its birth had been.

		The poets and prose writers of the first and early second centuries AD were not deterred by the towering stature of their Augustan predecessors from attempting new and often brilliant variations on the now traditional themes and genres.
		The so-called 'Silver' Age of Latin literature has tended to be characterized in terms of dismissive or question- begging stereotypes - 'decadent', 'rhetorical', 'baroque', 'mannerist' - as a substitute for close critical argument.
		Complementary to these central figures as giving the age its special character and atmosphere are the minor poets, the satirists, the scholars and rhetoricians, the lesser historians, epistolographers and technical writers, whose varied activity provides the background to the main developments.

		This period was the period of the greatest political stability in Imperial Rome after the age of Augustus; when Marcus Aurelius broke the pattern and was succeeded by his son, Commodus (180-192), all hell broke loose again.
		In fact, Lucan and his audience revel in melodramatic violence; in one scene, a soldier single-handedly fends off an entire army by serving as a human shield, standing his ground in spite of the dozens of spears and missiles in his body.
		If there is a single theme running throughout all of the literature and philosophy of the period, it is precisely this issue of moral degeneracy.

	Latin Literature
		That Latin literature began to decline so soon after the stimulating Greek influence ceased to operate, was partly due to external causes; the empire began to fight for its existence before the end of the second century, and never afterwards gained a pause in the continuous drain of its vital force.
		Classical Latin poetry was, as we have seen, written throughout in alien metres, to which indeed the language was adapted with immense dexterity, but which still remained foreign to its natural structure.
		Quintilian's criticism implies throughout that the two literatures were on a footing of substantial equality; Cicero is sufficient for him, as Virgil is for Statius.

		Born in Naples Statius (45?-96 A.D.) was one of the principle epic and lyric poets of the Silver Age of Latin literature during the reign of the Emperor Domitian.
		His reputation was high during both his lifetime and through the Middle Ages, and he was actually considered to be second only to Virgil among Latin writer (although later critics dismissed him as a imitator of Virgil).
		To be fair, Silver Age writers were preoccupied with the conventions of literary form, but it does require some effort to follow the narrative.

		He was born with exceptional talent, and his poetic expression is, with all its faults, richer on the whole and less forced, more buoyant and more felicitous, than is to be found generally in the Silver Age of Latin poetry.
