What reading level is Roman Ideas of Deity in the Last Century Before the Christian Era Lectures Deli book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
K. Ed. 2, p. 256 foil.
in COSMIC IDEAS OF DEITY 65 completed.^ As Fortuna muliebris, also as Fortuna virilis, she was more especially a women's deity ; and later on such titles as Fortmia equestris, Fortuna huiusce diei, and others, tell their own story clearly enough when we take the trouble to examine the circumstances of their origin. At the end of the Hannibahc war the great Fortuna of Praeneste was honoured with a temple in Rome, probably after suc- cessful recourse to her oracle, which so... far the Roman authorities had dechned to consult. But transplanted cults are apt to lose something of their original char- acter, and here we find no first-born daughter of Jupiter, but rather the beginning of Fortuna publica Populi Romani, of which we hear so much later on.
I have thus briefly sketched the history of Fortuna as a Latin and Roman deity, because I wished to make it clear that there is nothing to suggest that the virile and persistent Roman ever believed himself or his State to be at the mercy of mere chance.
