What reading level is A History of Rome for High Schools And Academies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, emperor, 161-180. Marcus Aurelius, Meditations. Years. Underlying all his work we find this principle, — the armies, the governors, Rome, and the emperor existed for the welfare of the provinces. As he was the first real monarch, he was likewise the first servant of the empire. Antoninus, surnamed Pius, 1 the heir of Hadrian, was the first emperor from Gaul. He was a man of estimable char- acter who loved justice and peace. His reign is noted for humane legislation. E...specially he limited the right of the master to torture his slaves for the purpose of extorting evi- dence;' 2 and he originated the legal principle on which all trials are now conducted throughout the civilized world, that an accused person should be considered innocent till proved guilty. Enlarging on the charitable policy of Tra- jan, he set aside an endowment for orphan girls, whom he called Faustinianse, after his wife Faustina. His long reign, unmarked by events, was prosperous and happy, not from his own ability, however, so much as from the excellent condition in which his predecessor had left the empire.
