PREORDER – Explore Latin: Trade, Travel, Textiles

Preorder is expected to ship late Summer 2026. Please call or email us if you have any questions.

The readers in the Explore Latin series are intended to introduce novice Latin learners to an array of ancient topics, using limited vocabulary and abundant textual supports. In about 100 unique Latin words, Explore Latin: Trade, Travel, Textiles provides a basic, foundational vocabulary centered around Roman commerce, clothing manufacture, and dress. This immersive exploration weaves together various cultural threads: the geography and varied climate of the Roman Empire; modes of transportation; commonly traded goods; stages of clothing production; and the relationship between clothing and social roles. Vivid, full-color images help learners visualize the Latin that they encounter, allowing them to more easily make meaning of the text, while reducing the need to use English as an intermediary.
