ARMAVFVMQVECANO Justin Barry, '10 The Classics Club, moderated by Mr. Burokas, offers students interested in studying the Ancient Greek and Roman cultures and languages a venue to pursue this interest. Students often find that the club provides a unique opportunity to preserve and to appreciate these rich past cultures. Furthermore, the club provides a meaningful context for those students still studying Latin or pursuing Ancient Greek, offering students with a background of daily life, the legal system, and the events which inspired the preeminent writers of the period. This year, the club also regularly screened I, Clavdivs, a film series portraying the history of the Roman Empire from the reign of Augustus Caesar to the reign of Claudius himself. Very often, the historical events which the club discusses enrich how students perceive Roman history and Roman society, making the topics discussed in academic Latin classes more tangible and stimulating.
