Case

Nominative case
The Romans used the nominative case most commonly to indicate the subject of a finite verb e.g poet in sentence A and girls in sentence B poets.

Genitive case
When one noun was used to modify another, the Romans put the modifying, or limiting, noun in the genitive case, as we do in such instances as poet's in sentence B and girls in sentence C. One idea very commonly conveyed by the genitive is possession and although other categories besides the genitive of possession are distinguished, the meaning of genitive can generally be ascertained by the translating it with the preposition of . A Latin noun in the genitive case usually follows the noun it modifies.

Dative case
The Romans used the dative to mark the person of thing indirectly affected by the action of the verb, as in the sentence A and to the sailors in B; both of these nouns are indirect objects, the most common use of the dative. IN most instances the these of the dative can be determined by using to or for with the noun.


Accusative case
The Romans used the accusative case to indicative the direct object off the action of the verb, the person or thing directly affected by the action of the verb. It can also be used for the object of certain propositions. Eg. As to in into, post, after, being in sentence A and B roses is the direct object of is (are) giving

Ablative case
The ablative case we sometimes call the adverbial case because it was the case used by the Romans when they wished to modify, or limit, the verb.

Medusa and Athena in Nature


There were once three beautiful girls, the ones we now call the Gorgons. In fact, they were some of the most beautiful girls of their time.


The most beautiful of them was named Medusa. Unfortunately, she knew that she was very beautiful, so she was also very vain.


One day, the three sister decided to visit the city. They went into Athena's temple, which was very beautiful. However, Medusa spent the entire time saying that she should have a temple built to her, because she was more beautiful than Athena.


When people heard her insulting the goddess, they fled the temple. However, Athena was too busy looking at her reflection to realize that the place was deserted. Athena, hearing these comments, came down to the temple and saw the girl that was so vain. She was extremely angry, and decided to punish Medusa and her sisters.


They were all turned into the ugliest creatures you would ever see, with snakes for hair and eyes that would turn you to stone.


But the ugliest was Medusa. She was the most hideous of them all, and she taught everyone a simple lesson... DON'T insult a goddess.

Bio of Rome



Ancient Rome made its fortune by conquering and making colonies. Whenever they conquered a place, they would start blending Roman culture with the native culture, which would provide them with more power over those people. They measured status in monetary value, and the wealthy citizens were some of the most influential. They had Greek influences on their art, but also have some of the most famous architecture and paintings in the world. Until its decline, it was one of the most powerful empires the world has ever seen, and that will be its legacy.
