make it an engaging text for intermediate students and a lively introduction to Roman forensic practices and Ciceronian rhetoric.

This new method of textual presentation supports intermediate and advanced Latin readers by encouraging comprehension of each successive version as they build towards full engagement with the authentic, unadapted Latin text.
