Among our Latin books, Ora Maritima is a beginner read. It is a schoolroom story for children, built from very short sentences and a lot of dialogue, so it is easy to follow line by line. Its vocabulary is still a hurdle, because a short text keeps returning to seaside and Roman army words such as boats, anchors and soldiers, so expect to look up the words to learn below; it suits someone who has just finished a first Latin course.
