THE TIBER (Optional Reading) 1 54. The Tiber is rather more than 200 miles long and at Rome, 22 miles from its mouth, is about 300 feet wide and from 12 to 18 feet in depth. The poets call it "the yellow Tiber" because the swift river carries so much sediment. More than 130 floods of the Tiber are recorded and these have cost thousands of lives in and near Rome. In the flood of 1598 A.D. the water was more than 20 feet deep in the heart of the city at the Pantheon. (Cf. p. 292.) Rome is now protected from such danger by a great embankment which cost many millions of dollars. The Falls at Tivoli (On a tributary of the Tiber and in the country of the Roman poet Horace) 1 Optional Readings. In order to gain the most from our study of the Latin language we need to know as much as possible about the ancient Romans, their city, their homes, their dress, their architecture and art, their religion, and the lives and character of their great men. Brief readings upon these topics have, therefore, been placed at intervals throughout the book. In connection with these readings look for the pictures which illustrate them, and refer to the map of Rome, p. 100.

In English, an adjective does not change in form except in its comparison.1 Thus the adjective good remains unchanged in the phrases a good farmer (m.), a good girl (f.), and the good gifts (n.). Here the adjective describes nouns of different gender and number, yet the form of the adjective is unchanged. An attributive adjective is attached directly to a noun, as the good farmer. A predicate adjective is placed in the predicate to describe the subject, as The farmer is good. In Latin, adjectives, like nouns, change in form, and usually distinguish three genders. When the adjective is used with a noun, the adjective must show, by its case ending, the same gender, number, and case as the noun. Adjectives of the First and Second Declensions have in the masculine gender the case endings of hortus, m.; in the feminine the case endings of terra, f.; in the neuter 1 e.g., high, higher, highest; good, better, best. |
