What reading level is Pompeii Its History Buildings And Antiquities An Account of the Destruction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But what rendered this house remarkable, even more than its size and beauty, was the richness of its furniture and HOUSE OF THE FAUN.
395 decorations, and especially of its mosaics. In an apartment in the middle of the peristyle was found the famous mosaic of the battle of Issus, now in the Museum at Naples, which we have already described. The threshold of one of the doors leading into the atrium had also a mosaic, unique both for its execution and for its state of preservation. It is about ni...ne and a half feet long by nearly two broad, and displays a grand festoon of flowers and fruits, with tragic masks and tympana. In another apartment was the beautiful mosaic of Acratus, mounted on a panther, of which we annex a plate. These have been removed to the Neapolitan Museum but two or three mosaics still remain in situ. One of these in a room in the peristyle, representing a large lion, is very much damaged. A smaller mosaic in one of the alae is in a better state of preservation. It represents three doves and a casket, from which one of the doves is stealing a pearl necldace.
