What reading level is An Easy Abridgment of Caesar's De Bello Civili book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
ICX3. Juratque, etc. Compare the similar oath which Petreius made his army swear after the two armies had fraternised, § vL I95-2CX>.
Labienus was fond of such oaths. He afterwards swore, just before the battle of Pharsalia, not to return except victorious, — and did it, § xi. 11, 106. bene merltae clvitates. The states south of the Apsus (see Map 5) were now with Caesar ; and while waiting for the rest of his army his plan of campaign was simply to protect them and watch Pompeius. Pompeius' wa...nt of enterprise seems most remarkable.
Caesar had only seven legions very much under strength, containing only 15,000 men with 500 horse, Pompeius had nine Roman legions, apparently of at least tolerable strength, say 45,000 men, with over 4000 light armed auxiliaries, and a splendid cavalry of 7000 ; yet he allowed Caesar to remain all the winter encamped opposite him with only a river between without attempting anything. Yet action before the arrival of Caesar's reinforcements was everything to him.
