What reading level is Social And Imperial Life of Great Britain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The city has been accustomed for centuries to narrow windows, and the windows of modern-built houses there often present a curious contrast to those of large residential towns, which have grown up in this century, and whose inhabitants consequently have no tradition from the time when cities were fortified.
When the west drove the east backward, when Rome spread the civilisation of the old world, when the bar- 449 G G WAR AND THE CONSTITUTION barians broke into the empire to regenerate it, the ...progress in arms and armour was the sign that each people was fit for the work they had to do. The Greek shield, as is known from the name, was at first of hide or willow ; the Latin was of hide. The legend that Numa caused bronze shields, the Ancilia of the Salii, to be made in the shape of the shield that fell from heaven, is an indication of the Roman appreciation of the round bronze shields imported from Greece. These holy shields were guarded by a college of twelve priests of Mars Gradivus, instituted by Numa, who were all patricians ; every year on the Kalends of March and for twelve subsequent days they marched through Rome, chanting hymns and dancing sacred war- dances — whence the name of Salii.
