The text comes first
Latin words use a locally stored morphology and short-definition index, with possible parses and links to full Lewis & Short entries—without adding marks until the reader hovers.
An edition for reading
Close to the Latin.
Open to everyone.
The Roman Reader is designed for first encounters and close returns: uncluttered texts, readable translations, responsive word study, and context that stays near the passage.
Translation remains a choice
Williams preserves passage correspondence; Dryden offers a distinct poetic reading without being forced into false line alignment.
Sources stay visible
The texts come from public or openly licensed editions. Word study combines LatinCy Lexicon and Whitaker’s WORDS data with Lewis & Short links from Perseus.
