What reading level is A Source book of Ancient History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The triarii continued kneeling behind the ensigns, their left leg extended for- ward, holding their shields resting on their shoulders, and their spears fixed in the ground, with the points erect, so that their line bristled as if enclosed by a rampart. If the principes also did not make sufficient impression in the fight, they retreated slowly from the front to the triarii. Hence when a difficulty is felt, "Matters have come to the triarii, " became a usual proverb. The triarii, rising up, aft...er receiving the principes and spearmen into the intervals between their ranks, immediately closing their files, shut up as it were the openings; and in one compact body fell upon the enemy, no other hope being now left; that was the most formidable circumstance to the enemy, when, having pursued them as vanquished, they beheld a new line suddenly starting up, increased also in strength. In general about four legions were raised, each consisting of five thousand infantry and three hundred horse.
