What reading level is Survivals of Roman Architecture in Britain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A good illustration is afforded by the New Inn at Gloucester, the arrangement of which is so precisely like that of the " house of the tragic poet " in Pompeii that the plan of the latter, as given in Smith's Dictionary of Antiquities [^Domus] would serve for it.
[Plate VIIL, figs. 2, 3].
This plan shows the same narrow passage from the street as that leading to the courtyard of the New Inn, with shops on either side, entered from this passage, exactly as the " bar " in such inns was entered.
T...hen both the Pompeian house and the New Inn have two courtyards, as have many other hostelries of the same type. This feature was universal in large Roman mansions, and in the Greek houses from which the plan was copied by the Romans. The reason for having two courts was the same as that which led to the building of galleries in the places of worship : i.e. the seclusion or partial seclusion of the women ; for while the outer court gave access to the men's apartments, and was the one in which strangers were received, the inner court, with its little garden, was surrounded by the apartments of the women.
