What reading level is Hannibal: a History of the Art of War Among the Carthaginians And Romans ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Fulvius, says Livy, was detained at the Vultumus by Han- nibal's burning the boats, which obliged him to make rafts in order to cross. This looks as if the bridge at Casilinum had been broken down. But owing to Hannibal's purposely slow marches, he arrived in Rome the day Hannibal neared its walls. Rome thus had, in addition to Fulvius' army, its own garrison, a part at least of the two consular armies, and all the troops of Alba, which came to Rome at once. It is difficult to say what the tota...l force was. The consuls were in Rome, but we are not told which of their legions were with them. There were certainly over forty thousand men in the city. It stood in no danger whatever. Troops were disposed in the citadel, along the walls, at the Alban Mountain and at Fort ^sula. This force would have made an assault by Han- nibal mere folly, with his much less than thirty thousand men, even if he had harbored any intention of so doing. He con- tented himself with advancing along the left bank of the Anio to within the short distance of three miles of the walls and making a reconnoissance as far as the temple of Hercules near the CoUine gate.
