What reading level is The Greatness And Decline of Rome volume 5 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The law provided for a kind of fictitious sale of the slave to the State or to himself ; the slave could then be examined, as he was no longer the property of the accused. This strange legal quibble had been invented to satisfy the people who protested against the general immunity of the rich. While some approved of the law, others criticised it severely, * and with good reason. What Augustus had given with one hand he now took away with the other ; his desperate efforts to secure the moral and... economic restoration of the aristocracy gave a terrible weapon into the hands of the greedy and jealous middle classes, of poor scribblers and pushing upstarts : by scandal, calumny and perjury they might now destroy the honour and the fortunes of the nobility. No aristocracy worth the name would ever allow slaves to give evidence against their masters. Thus the Roman aristocracy was more than ever anxious to recover its prestige by some striking success in the German policy. No sooner had Augustus reached Gaul than Tiberius crossed the Rhine at the head of an army, and this was enough.
