Bellovesus, a Gallic slave who tends Fabia's family vineyard, was not always a slave. Just a few years ago, he lived a happy life as the son of a rich Gallic vintner and merchant among the Aedui, a Gallic tribe. As they sell their wine along the Arar river, he and his family run into trouble with the Sequani, another Gallic tribe. This trouble sparks a chain of events that will draw Bellovesus into the battle of Magetobriga, and forever change his life...This book is designed for advanced second-, or any third-year Latin student. The story delves deeply into Gallic culture, and gives students a great introduction to the cultures, characters and conflicts they will encounter in Caesar's De Bello Gallico in AP Latin. Several passages from the AP syllabus are adapted for comprehensibility and woven into the text of the story to give students a nice bridge from level 3 to AP.
