New Latin Language Sodalitas

Byzantium Novum now has a Latin Sodalitas (special interest group): Sodalitas Latinas Byzantia, located at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SodalitasLatinaByzantia/

This Sodalitas is for people wanting to learn, study, read and share the Latin Language in a group setting.

The ancient Eastern Roman Empire was primarily Greek - however it's governmental language was Latin. Latin was also used throughout Byzantine history for communicating with the West, and one was not considered fully educated until they knew both Greek and Latin.

This first language group is an excellent addition to the cultural content of Byzantium Novum, and we hope that Citizens will make use of this wonderful resource!
