Magister Muth walks through the Latin text to support reading comprehension, grammatical analysis, and translation. Please use this video to help build your Latin skills and review material, not to replace honest effort on your assignments. Texts are drawn from the new AP Latin curriculum released for the 2025-2026 school year, covering selections from Pliny the Younger’s Epistulae and Vergil’s Aeneid.

This video covers a part of Book 6 Letter 20 from Pliny the Younger’s Epistulae. This letter is the second in which Pliny details the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, focusing on the experience of himself and his mother at Misenum. Maximas gratias to Geoffrey Steadman’s College Pliny and Vergil for the edited Latin text and detailed commentary.
