What reading level is Description of Latium Or La Campagna Di Roma book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Vespasian restored the Appian Way from Rome to this place; but it was reserved for Trajan to re-establish it through the marshes as far as Terracina, by raising it to such a height that the waters could not go over it. This he did at his own private ex pence, as we are told by an inscription found on making the new road, in 1779.
* Art of Poetry, v. 6$.
135 "We learn from Horace's account of his journey to Brun- dusium, that travellers were, at that time, obliged to go part of the way in a boat....
Trajan's road was nineteen miles in length, and was called Decennovium, as we find by an inscription of Theodoric* and by one of the letters of his minister Cassiodorus.
Theodosius and his sons Arcadius and Honorius also re- paired this road.
Not only miliary columns, but many inscriptions and other interesting remains of antiquity were found when the new road was made by Pius the Sixth. * m This pontiff, at a great expence, and with indefatigable perseverance, converted a very considerable part of these pernicious marshes into pasturage, corn-fields, and rice-plan- tations.
