To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Notwithstanding hismanly resolution, Pompeianus escaped the resentment of the tyrant, and, with his honor, had the good fortune to preserve his life.
Commodus had now attained the summit of vice and infamy. Amid theacclamations of a flattering court he was unable to disguise fromhimself that he had deserved the contempt and hatred of every man ofsense and virtue in his empire. His ferocious spirit was irritated bythe consciousness of that hatred, by the envy of every kind of merit, bythe just a...pprehension of danger, and by the habit of slaughter which hecontracted in his daily amusements. History has preserved a long list ofconsular senators sacrificed to his wanton suspicion, which sought out, with peculiar anxiety, those unfortunate persons connected, howeverremotely, with the family of the Antonines, without sparing even theministers of his crimes or pleasures.
His cruelty proved at last fatal to himself. He had shed with impunitythe noblest blood of Rome: he perished as soon as he was dreaded by hisown domestics.
