poetry? Answer: To learn to scan a line of Latin poetry, it
helps to know the meter and to use a text that shows the
macrons. Let's assume you have a text of the beginning of The
Aeneid with macrons. Since it is an ancient epic, The Aeneid is
in dactylic hexameters, which is a meter the AP exams typically
expect you to know.  Find the Long Syllables    1. First, you
mark all syllables that are long by nature.      Long Vowels
Those syllables with macrons over the vowels are long by nature.
For simplicity, a circumflex will be used for a macron here.

the long mark ‾ over the syllable's vowel to mark the syllable
as long when you scan your lines.)      Tip: For an AP exam, the
help offered by the macron will probably not be available, so
when you use a Latin dictionary to look up a word, make note of
the long vowels.      Other
