  • SAME ORIGINAL WORDS: All the same words that Vergil wrote, with additions (clearly indicated) to facilitate reading.
  • PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COLUMN ON EACH PAGE: Primary column containing the prose text, secondary column containing many notes to help with vocabulary, difficult grammatical constructions, etc.
  • VOCABULARY NOTES ... ALSO IN LATIN: All notes (around 7,600) given in the secondary column are written in Latin, thus allowing the reader to remain immersed in the language itself.

NOTE: In the Amazon site this book appears indicated for reading age 10-18. This is due to a mistake during the setup of the detail page, as it is obviously a book for university students. We are trying to get rid of that reading age indication, which in any case is purely anecdotical
