What reading level is Republican Rome Her Conquests Manners And Institutions From the Earliest Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In any circumstances such an attempt to balance a single crown between three heads must have led to collision and 376 •^ MARIUS disaster ; and Jugurtha, who inherited all the ability and ambition of his renowned grandfather, was not likely to rest until he had thrust out his young kinsmen from the throne. His brilliant gifts and varied experience peculiarly fitted him for the perilous part which he aspired to play. Under the feeble rule of his uncle Micipsa he had gained great credit by his ski...lful conduct of State affairs, and his matchless skill and courage made him the foremost figure in a nation of riders and hunters. It was not enough, however, to win the affections of his own wild countrymen. The kings of Numidia held their power by the sufferance of the Romans, and unless he could procure the connivance of the Senate his ambitious plans would be nipped in the bud. But there was a ready and easy way — so, at least, he believed — out of this difficulty ; for while serving at Numantia under Scipio he had formed intimacies among the dissolute Roman nobles, and from them he had learnt the valuable secret that in Rome all things were to be bought for gold.
