Episode 3.3: Shopping in the Forum

 

Octaviāna nunc tabulam spectāvit. stilum iam habēbat, sed tabulam quoque dēbēbat emere.

 

"quantī est tabula sōla?" rogāvit Octaviāna.

 

mercātor tabulam ostendit. "tabula est decem denāriī," inquit.

 

Octaviāna decem denāriōs habēbat.

 

 quid Octaviāna agit?

 

Octaviāna pretium plēnum dat. "decem denāriōs dō."

 

Octaviāna minus rogat. "octō denāriōs dare volō."

 

Octaviāna multō minus rogat. "quinque denāriōs dare volō!"
