As I prepare a glossary of Latin terms for my Roman Empire students to be able to tackle some articles on how democratic the republic was, I’m struck by the needless inaccessibility of so much otherwise great scholarship. Translating the Latin wouldn’t have weakened these pieces!
This had been one of my biggest academic bugbears for YEARS. just translate the fucking thing, we don't care that you think you're smart
