Iterum 2/6

Iterum 2/6
Warm-up
·         Be prepared to use the Latin phrases you learned last week to:
o    introduce yourself to the class in Latin.
§  we talked about Roman naming conventions:
§  3 names: praenomen, nomen, cognomen
§  praenomina were not really varied
§  guys were almost always one of the following: Gaius, Marcus, Lucius, Titus, Quintus, Sextus, Publius
§  girls were given the female equivalent of their father’s name (so if Gaius had a daughter her name would be Gaia)
§  If a family had more than one daughter they would be named in number sequence: Secunda (second daughter), Tertia (third daughter)
§  praenomina were used only by close family and friends, not acquaintances
o    ask permission to go to the restroom.
§  be prepared to do this from now on!
