New Site

We're making a change to the way that we release work for our classes. The main lessons (the things that we'll do in class each day) will now be found at the site "Optimal Beneficial Moreover Detrimental: Classroom." We're keeping this site, with a slightly different name, in order to release a reading a day for students to practice their reading at home. Each post will contain a link to a reading, along with a list of assignments that can be completed for that reading.

While they spoke Latin, the language that eventually mutated into modern Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese through blending with local languages, the empire was centered for most of its reign in Rome. Here's a biography of one of the most important people in human history, the Roman emperor Julius Caesar.
