Why a Latin Club?
The Latin Club promotes the study of Classics, including Greek and Roman Culture, History, and the Latin language, which applies to every major and profession in some way. Plus, it’s a chance to have fun while learning!
Latin Club is student-run, with student members and a faculty advisor. Any University of Lynchburg student who is interested in Latin and ancient Greece and Rome is welcome to join.

The Eagle, “Under the command of Flavius Aquila in A.D. 120, Rome’s Ninth Legion marches north carrying its revered eagle emblem and vanishing into the mists. Rumors of the legion’s golden eagle appearing in a tribal temple reach Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum), Flavius’ son, 20 years later. Marcus makes a dangerous journey to Scotland to retrieve the hallowed eagle and, in doing so, to restore his father’s tarnished honor.”
