Illustrated in artist Marta Bertello's haunting style, this unique compendium illuminates ancient Roman history and culture like never before.

Et Cetera Reviews

"...a refreshing dusting-off of the genre of classical phrase compendiums, sure to appeal to a wide range of curious readers [...] Clearly a work of love, written by one of a new breed of classicists, this is a delightful following of Horaces inducement to make writing 'dulce et utile,' both enjoyable and instructivebut you knew that, didnt you?" (Billy Collins, New York Times bestselling author and former U.S. Poet Laureate)
Et Cetera is my Roman Empire. Literally. You would think a reference book of Latin phrases could not possibly make you cry. You would be wrong. Fresh, funny, and poignant [] each lovingly illustrated phrase becomes a portal to a Rome we dont often see.
(Eunice Hong, author of Memento Mori: A Novel)
A fascinating and beautiful introduction to Latin, infused with history and literature from the ancient world [] it will intrigue even the staunchest of hellenophiles (like me).
(Liv Albert, creator of the Lets Talk About Myths, Baby! Podcast)

About Maia Lee-Chin

Maia Lee-Chin is a lover of casual conversations with the ancient world and is convinced that all translations are autobiographical. She claims she was born to be a classicist, citing her Greek goddess namesake and her lineage, which includes some of the earliest African Americans to obtain college degrees. When not writing, Maia plays video games, cooks, cleans (begrudgingly), works in urban education, and tries not to use epic poetry as a road map for life. She has other work featured inEidolon andAncient Exchanges.

Marta Bertello is grew up in Turin, Italy, where she graduated with honors from the Albertina Fine Art Academy. Her work focuses on suspended, slightly unsettling atmospheres, with special attention given to composition and visual storytelling. She lives and works in Venice.
