Metrical phonology is a young discipline: new ideas keep coming and going, and fashions change just about every decade. Bruce Hayes's excellent and influential book _Metrical Stress Theory: Principles and Case Studies_ (1995, University of Chicago Press) is still considered standard. Armin R. Mester published a very interesting paper on Latin stress in 1994: "The Quantitative Trochee in Latin", in _Natural Language and Linguistic Theory_ 12/1: 1-61. Iambic shortening and related phenomena (Plautinian word-internal shortenings, etc.) are discussed there.

Thanks Piotr - that's helpful.   It shows how out of touch I am now!   Do you have a reference I can follow up?
