Salvete!
Ask and ye shall receive. There are now a couple of Latin dictionaries up on
the bookstore. I also took the opportunity to fix the link to "First Man in
Rome", too.
I'm still in the midst of moving, and my PC at the new place is not yet set
up, so the only web site work I can do for the moment is during stolen
moments when I'm at work (nor am I getting email during the evenings).
Vale,
Germanicus

Great, You can also get the Wheellocks Latin book and workbook from
Amazon. BTW, what happened to the Lindsey Davis "Falco" list I sent ?
