Reading Cicero Like a Case File

Latin prose often arrives as a wall: clauses inside clauses, political context assumed, every word carrying a little bundle of grammar.

Sensus treats a passage less like a worksheet and more like a case file. A word can reveal its lemma and morphology. A sentence can unfold its syntax. A place can open into a map. A historical name can become a card rather than a footnote.

The point is not to make Cicero easy. The point is to make the difficulty visible, navigable, and alive.
