What reading level is Agathocles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
122 AGATHOCLES' WARFARE IN AFRICA The strength of the walls was such as almost to defy storming, so that Hamilcar^s failure cannot have surprised even himself. By that time he must have had the news of the Carthaginian defeat in Africa and wished to make a last try before sending home his best troops.
By the withdrawal of so large a part of Hamilcar's army Carthage virtually gave up hope of striking a telling blow at the power of Syracuse. But her act must not be judged hastily. Doubtless the c...rowded state of Carthage made food very scarce, and it was needful at all costs to keep the road open to the midland of Africa ; for a city which drew all its food-supplies from its own fields would not have been able at such a crisis to feed its swollen population by means of its ships. Therefore until the crowd of runaways could be drilled and sent out to fight (as they were later on), the help of fresh troops could not be foregone.
3. The War in Africa. 310309.
By his late victory over the Carthaginians Agathocles found himself master of the open country \ He now built a strong camp near Tunis", which, as we have seen, he had probably already taken; there he left a detachment of troops to watch Carthage, and to shut her off from the land to the south.
