What reading level is The History of Rome book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Philip made a gallant resistance against this formidable confederacy ; but the con- sul T. Quinctius Flamininus gave him at length (555) a complete defeat at Cynoscephalae in Thessaiy, and he was forced to sue for peace, which, however, he obtained on much easier terms than might have been expected, as the Romans were on the eve of a war with the king of Syria. The peace with Philip was followed by the celebrated proc- lamation at the Isthmian Games of the independence of those states of Greece... which had been under the Macedonian dominion ; for the Romans well knew that this was the in- fallible way to establish their own supremacy, as the Greeks would be sure never to unite for the common good of their country.
After an interval of a few years, the long-expected war with Antiochus the Great of Syria broke out. The imme- diate occasion of it was the discontent of the iEtolians, who being mortally offended with the Romans sent to invite him into Greece. He had been for three years making prepara- tions for the war, and he had now at his service the greatest general of the age, if he had known how to make use of him.
