    DP Latin I Final Exam

    Part A: Using the passage from book 2 of Livy’s Ab urbe condita below, answer the following
    questions. Make sure that your answers are as detailed and specific as possible, and that you cite
    the Latin when necessary. The translation question will be assessed according to the general
    accuracy and degree to which errors impede the sense of the translation.

    cum hostes adessent, pro se quisque in urbem ex agris demigrant; urbem ipsam saepiunt praesidiis.
    Alia muris, alia Tiberi obiecto videbantur tuta: pons sublicius iter paene hostibus dedit, ni unus vir
    fuisset, Horatius Cocles; id munimentum illo die fortuna urbis Romanae habuit. qui positus forte in
    statione pontis cum captum repentino impetu Ianiculum atque inde citatos decurrere hostes vidisset
    trepidamque turbam suorum arma ordinesque relinquere, reprehensans singulos, obsistens
    obtestansque deum et hominum fidem testabatur nequiquam deserto praesidio eos fugere; si
    transitum ponte a tergo reliquissent, iam plus hostium in Palatio Capitolioque quam in Ianiculo
    fore. itaque monere, praedicere ut pontem ferro, igni, quacumque vi possint, interrumpant: se
    impetum hostium, quantum corpore uno posset obsisti, excepturum. vadit inde in primum aditum
    pontis, insignisque inter conspecta cedentium pugna terga obversis comminus ad ineundum
    proelium armis, ipso miraculo audaciae obstupefecit hostes. duos tamen cum eo pudor tenuit, Sp.
    Larcium ac T. Herminium, ambos claros genere factisque. cum his primam periculi procellam et
    quod tumultuosissimum pugnae erat parumper sustinuit.
