Statua et Thesaurus | A story in Latin for beginners from Legentibus

This is a story in Latin for beginners that I wrote based on a medieval legend about Pope Sylvester II, also known as Gerbert of Aurillac. It is a story that in true Indiana Jones’ style bring us in the dead of night to the Martian Field – Campus Martius – in Rome in search of a strange statue – and hidden treasure. (Oh, and did I mention the golden robots?!) I hope you’ll enjoy it!
