What reading level is The Imperial Peace An Ideal in European History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The young Rome was the Imperial Rome ; and, as it turned out, the Emperor was the incarnate god on earth, and the bearer of the majesty of Rome. Of this development Virgil, as he wrote, was unconscious. There is no dynastic idea in this poem, though it easily adapted itself to the Im- perial idea, as that idea was formed. Virgil was too true a prophet to dream merely of external forms in the future. He saw the young and new Rome, not the child of any individual Roman. He foresaw dimly the glory... of a regenerated and ordered world, not the continuation of a dynastic succession.
The Empire, as it was gradually formed by Augustus from 27 B. C. Onwards, corresponded in a real though very imperfect way to Dante's ideal. Augustus and his successors governed as guardians of the people, and dated their reign by their tribunician authority as champions of the commons. The Emperor was always in theory, and very often in fact, on the outlook for opportunities to do good to the Roman people and their subject pro- vincials.
