What reading level is Sicily book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A small museum of antiquities found at Selinunt is in the grammar school, the best of which are an archaic bronze statue of Apollo and some terra-cottas. The modern theatre is a curious erec- tion. The fa9ade is Doric, and the decoration of the interior is copied from the ruins of Selinunt, except the central box, which is from the tomb of Archi- medes at Syracuse. It is open to the sky. Two miles to the west is the little church of La Trinity di Delia of the 12th century. Its plan bears very g...reat resemblance to La Martorana and St. Cataldo — a central dome, three apses beyond, four columns supporting the dome, a west door and three windows above a string-course, the central one larger, and a door at both north and south sides.
The columns and caps resemble the decadent an- tique, but there is no other decoration.
Casteltretrano is the best starting-point for Seli- nunt, the ancient Selinus, from which it is about ji miles distant.
The temples which remain there, although in a state of complete ruin, having been thrown down by the Carthaginians as some think, while others ascribe their destruction to earthquakes, are of considerable inteffest, being undoubtedly very early in date, arid it is principally upon them that the argument for the 87 Digitized by VjOOQIC SICILY I^lic origin of the Doric order hsis been built by certain of the Sicilian archaeologists.
