What reading level is An Ancient History for Beginners book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The inter- rex nominated a king, the assembly elected him, and the senate gave its sanction. Then the assembly conferred upon him the im-pe^ri-um, which made him absolute commander in war and supreme jildge with power of life and death over his subjects. In addition to these duties, he was head of the state religion. Although originally but a citizen, he now occupied a place of great dignity and power. Ac- cordingly he dressed in an embroidered purple robe and high red shoes, and with an eagle-...headed sceptre in his hand sat on an ivory throne, or on his judgment seat, the curule chair. In his walks he was accompanied by twelve attendants, called lictors, each bearing an axe bound in a bundle of rods. The axes signified his absolute power extending to life and death.
225. Religion. — As the Romans of a later age assigned the be- ginnings of their state and constitution to Romulus, they imagined Numa the author of most of their religious institutions. Near the comitium he built a temple to Ja'nus, the double-faced god, who blesses the beginnings and ends of actions.
