PART TWO

In urbe amīca Iūliam salūtat. Laetae sunt hae amīcae ubi dē temporibus quibus erant puellae colloquium habent. Amīca urbem suam laudat et multa loca Iūliae mōnstrāre vult. In ūnō aedificiō sunt tēla et rēs antīquae bellī. Iūlia haec laudat et dē fīliō suō putat. Tēla quibus lēgātī et centuriōnēs, quī centum mīlitēs dūcēbant, sē et cīvitātem dēfendērunt, Iūlia laudat. Corōnam, quam dux fortis excēpit, videt. Diū inter rēs antīquās Iūlia et amīca manent.
