What reading level is Lectures On the History of Rome, From the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Western Empire 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When Naevius was an old man, Plautus, one of the greatest poetical geniuses of antiquity, was just entering on his best period. He shews his great talent in his bold and free, though somewhat singular manner of dealing with his characters.
He takes Greek pieces with Greek dramatis personae^ and treats them with a perfect irony. He does not translate from the Greek; but the Greeks^ in his plays, speak, act, and are witty, as Bomans would be; and there occurs in them nothing that could haye been ...foreign to the Bomans. All his person- ages display those peculiarities of character which distinguished the aerarii, who formed a lower order in the population of Home, and consisted chiefly of freedmen and strangers who had become naturalised, but could not rise to the rank of free Boman warriors. The scenes are laid at Athens, Epidanmus, or Ephesus, and the names of the persons are Greek; but we are reminded every moment that we are in the very heart of Kome. He also has Greek characters; for the parasite is, I believe, a Greek and not a Boman character.
