Designed as a companion to Cerutti’s Pro Archia student text and commentary, this volume’s comprehensive diagrams, detailed discussions of nearly every sentence of the speech, and sentence-by-sentence structural analysis provide roadmaps to guide students through the complex structure of Ciceronian periodic sentences. It helps to make Pro Archia accessible and is intended for use by both teachers and students alike.
