What reading level is Marcus Aurelius Antoninus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Marcus, therefore, listened with very favorable ears to any concubines who introduced peti- tions for the support of their children. In 162 he rendered a decision compelling a father to support the child borne him by his concubine, leaving it to the discretion of the judge to decide whether or not the father should not also be obliged to contribute to the child's education. ' On the other hand, in cases where a husband divorced himself from his wife, mater- nal affection often acted as so power...ful a motive that the woman, even though scarcely able to keep herself from penu- ry, denied that she was pregnant, for fear that the child, when born, should be taken from her. The chances were that in these instances the child would sufPer greatly by being left to be supported entirely by its mother. Marcus, therefore, favored in every way the wishes of all husbands who were desirous of bringing up their children ; and, in one case of this kind, the counsel employed by him devised a curious method by which the husband might ascertain the fact of his wife's pregnancy and obtain the release of the child upon its birth.
