Ecce Romani

Ecce Romani is a narrative‑based Latin curriculum that follows a fictional Roman family, introducing grammar and vocabulary through connected stories rather than isolated sentences. Textbooks weave in culture, history, and everyday Roman life, which appeals to kids who enjoy context and character. Parents like that the reading‑first approach builds comprehension and intuition for Latin, though some find they need to supplement with extra grammar drills. Because it was originally written for schools, homeschoolers often adapt pacing and skip some busywork exercises. Used copies and older editions are plentiful, so with a bit of hunting you can build a full multi‑year Latin sequence relatively inexpensively.
