by Kenneth Kronenberg (Author), Jürgen Leonhardt (Author)
The mother tongue of the Roman Empire and the lingua franca of the West for centuries afterward, Latin survives today primarily in classrooms and texts. Yet this "dead language" is unique in the influence it has exerted across centuries and continents. Jurgen Leonhardt offers the story of the first "world language", from antiquity to the present.
