What reading level is Roman Life And Manners Under the Early Empire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Clive between 1767-1770 ordered 200 shirts, as good as could be had for love or money. Count Briihl carried this affectation to excess ; would never wear a dress more than twice, and his accumula- tions of disused clothes became prodigious. About 1790 ladies changed wigs for every new toilette. About seventy years ago an English dandy used twenty shirts a week, twenty-four handkerchiefs, nine or ten pairs of summer trousers, thirty scarves (when not wearing black ones), a dozen waistcoats, and ...stockings d la discrition.
Extravagance in bright costly colours, so common in the south, was found in the Roman Empire in both sexes alike.
Persius makes one great dandy wear a hyacinth-coloured mantle. Martial tells of one moralist who prescribed dark grey or brown cloaks for men, and declared violet or scarlet effeminate ; a hypocrite who concealed vice under a pretence of austerity. Juvenal says that the great retinue with torches and the scarlet cloak of a young noble coming home from a feast is warning enough to keep clear of him.
