Farewell Old King

Tarquinius Superbus, himself the son of a previous king of
Rome, brutally deposes Servius Tullius and takes his throne.



Huic orationi Servius cum intervenisset trepido nuntio excitatus, extemplo a vestibulo curiae magna voce, “Quid hoc” inquit, “Tarquini, est? Qua tu audacia me vivo vocare ausus es patres aut in sede considere mea?”

Cum ille ferociter ad haec respondisset, — se patris sui tenere sedem; filium regis multo potiorem regni heredem quam servum; illum diu insultavisse dominis — clamor ab utriusque fautoribus oritur et concursus populi fiebat in curiam, apparebatque eum regnaturum esse qui vicisset.

Tum Tarquinius, multo et aetate et viribus validior, medium arripit Servium, elatumque e curia in inferiorem partem per gradus deiecit; inde ad cogendum senatum in curiam rediit.

Fit fuga regis apparitorum atque comitum; ipse prope exsanguis, cum sine regio comitatu domum se reciperet, ab eis qui missi ab Tarquinio fugientem consecuti erant interficitur.

Livy, ab Urbe Condita, 1. 48 (adapted) [50 marks]

The Souls of the Dead Return to the Light

During a tour of the underworld, Anchises shows Aeneas the souls which, after being cleansed, are to be returned to new bodies in the world above.



Meanwhile Aeneas sees, in a valley set aside, a woodland and rustling forest thickets, and the river Lethe that floats past peaceful dwellings. Around it hovered tribes and peoples unnumbered.

ac veluti in pratis ubi apes aestate serena

floribus insidunt variis et candida circum

lilia funduntur, strepit omnis murmure campus. horrescit visu subito causasque requirit inscius Aeneas, quae sint ea flumina porro, quive viri tanto complerint agmine ripas.
tum pater Anchises: “animae, quibus altera fato corpora debentur, Lethaei ad fluminis undam securos latices et longa oblivia potant.
has equidem memorare tibi atque ostendere coram, iampridem hanc prolem cupio enumerare meorum, quo magis Italia mecum laetere reperta.”
“o pater, anne aliquas ad caelum hinc ire putandum est sublimes animas iterumque ad tarda reverti
corpora? quae lucis miseris tam dira cupido?”


Virgil, Aeneid VI. 706–721. [50 marks]

(i) Tales non sunt qui hoc facere vereantur. (ii) Adiuva me quo facilius id fiat.
(iii) Fessis pugnando militibus quies data est.


(iv) Non possum contineri quin de hac re loquar. [contineo, –ere, –ui = restrain] (v) Si praemium promiseris, hoc facere conabor.
(vi) Equites tribus diebus se sequi iussit.


(vii) Ille in hoc oppido maximae auctoritatis esse videtur.
