What reading level is General History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Marius massacres the Aristocrats (87 B.C.). Returning from Africa, whither he had fled, Marius joined the consul Cinna in an attempt to crush by force the senatorial party. Rome was cut off from her food supplies and starved into submission. Marius 1 This was what is known as the First Mithradatic War (88-84 B.C.).
§280] THE PROSCRIPTIONS OF SULLA 187 now took a terrible revenge upon his enemies. The consul Gnaeus Octavius, who represented the aristocrats, was assassinated, and his head set up ...in front of the Rostra. Never before had such a thing been seen at Rome, — a consul's head exposed to the public gaze. For five days and nights a merciless slaughter was kept up.
The life of every man in the capital was in the hands of the revengeful Marius. As a fitting sequel to all this violence, Marius and Cinna were, in an entirely illegal way, declared consuls.
Marius was now consul for the seventh time. He enjoyed his seventh consulship only thirteen days, being carried away by death in the seventy-first year of his age (86 b.c).
