Why? Just because. Because I haven't taught Latin in 25 years and I still practically have this memorized. Because I still have a toga in a filing cabinet at work, just in case. Because the 7th grade curriculum still includes Ancient Rome. Because this Encyclopedia Britannica film is even older than I am. Because I have it on 8mm film, and still keep a projector for it.
Because I cry at Vistus' fate. Every. Single. Time.
I love this video and show it to my students every year in Latin 1!
