This paper aims to describe the behavior of Latin verbs with three arguments basically encoding the transfer of a  Theme  from an  Agent  to a  Recipient : these verbs, labelled as  ditransitives  within the framework of linguistic typology, will be analyzed here on the basis of this theoretical approach. Across languages, the object arguments of ditransitives may be marked as the  Patient  of monotransitives or differently from it, giving rise to various types of  alignment : the most frequent are the  indirective , the  secundative  and the  neutral alignment . In Latin, these three basic types of alignment are attested with ditransitives in the active and passive voice, although they are differently distributed across the lexicon. Moreover, some verbs allow more than one type of encoding of the relevant arguments, showing alternating alignments. I shall focus on the reasons of the distribution and alternation of the three types, with the goal of providing a point of departure for a deeper understanding of ditransitives in the Latin language.
