When I do one of my quick and dirty keyword processings around here, I'm often surprised at the number of topics in some of them. The Latin keyword has 399 right now, and after I post this, I'll round it to 400 by adding this one. :^)

Ovid and The Metamorphoses was third year Latin for me, and it was a great experience that affects you so many subtle ways. Lucan and Catullus came later, but there was one book that put so much of what I had read into context and helped me understand the Roman world better than anything else. I believe it is out of print, but thankfully available on line here: The Afterlife in Roman Paganism, by Franz Cumont.
