What reading level is On a Bastion of London Wall; Or, Excavations in Camomile Street, Bishopsgate book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As regards the costume, its most interesting feature is the mantle or outer garment. This is probably a variety of the pcenula or civilian's cloak, a dress worn over the tunic, and adapted more especially for long journeys or for use in cold or damp weather; one therefore which would be needed in this climate.
It was usually made from cloth, sometimes of leather, and differed materially from the paludamentum or sagum, which were military garments made from similar though richer material, simply... thrown across the body and fastened on the shoulder by a fibula or brooch. This article of dress was adopted by the Romans from the Gauls; at one time it had sleeves, but was divested of them on its introduction into Italy. The pcenula, on the contrary, was a habit without sleeves, and belongs to a variety of garments known as vestimenta clatisa, or close dresses. A true pcenula was not unlike the modern South American poncho, circular in shape, and having but an orifice in the middle for the head to go through.
