In architecture, an atrium (pl.: atria or atriums) is a large open-air or skylight-covered space surrounded by a building. Atria were a common feature in Ancient Roman dwellings, providing light and ventilation to the interior.

An analysis of Catullus 46 - a delightful 1st century BC Latin poem about the arrival of spring and the excitement of travel.

If your Latin is a bit rusty or you happen to be a Latin learner, below the poem you’ll find a detailed, verse-by-verse word analysis, along with an English translation.

At the very end of the post there are a few links to additional resources on Catullus, and the context of this particular poem.

After a week of Latin study (after two decades away) I've probably learned a few new words and seem to remember the noun declensions somewhat... those were always the hardest for me. A lot of times, I could read the Latin sentence and translate it fine, but still couldn't tell you what was the nominative, genitive, dative, etc. I think it will help to learn not having to do the nightmarish weekly Latin test! #LinguaLatina
