What reading level is Tacitus volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This point may be soon decided. Agrippina must, of course, present herself to every mind. Descended from a noble stock, she is the mother of children, and possesses, besides, all the virtues and all the graces of her sex. Nor is this all : by the special care of the gods, a prince, who has known no lawless pleasures, who has sought the modest enjoyments of connubial love, has now an opportunity of taking a widow to his arms, without injury to any private citizen, and with- out violating the rig...hts of the marriage bed. By former emperors wives have been taken from the em- braces of their husbands : we have heard it from our fathers ; we have been eye-witnesses of the fact. But these acts of violence are now at an end. A prece- dent may be established to regulate the conduct of all future emperors. But it may be said, a marriage be- tween the uncle and his niece is unknown to Roman manners. To this the answer is obvious : it is the practice of foreign nations, and no law forbids it. By the rule of ancient times cousins-german were re- strained from marrying ; but the change of manners has introduced a different custom.
