The title is a bit tongue-in-cheek, not too click-baitish I hope, but I've been wondering: since the Roman elite were practically bilingual, were any Latin-language textbooks to teach Greek ever written in Roman times, and if so, have any of those reached us?
It would be interesting to see what kind of language teaching style was in vogue back then, and which state of the Greek language was taught (Attic or koine or something else?) to Roman kids.
