What reading level is The Legacy of Rome book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Christianity of course has changed the meaning of the ceremony : nowadays its purpose would pre- sumably be called the invocation of a blessing from the deity. In Rome it was different — to keep away unholy powers, powers which were always very near. And when it is remembered that rites such as this happened in Roman times not once a year Family and Social Life 219 but almost every week, it is not difficult to realize how hard it was for a Roman to forget that he was always in the presence of b...eings greater than himself. All around him was an unseen world, and before its denizens he felt that awe which man must always feel when he is face to face with powers mysterious, inscrutable, and beyond control. That feeling is what the Romans called religio, and if a people may claim to be religious merely because it shows this attitude of mind, then no people in the world's history has been more religious than the early Romans.
If religion cannot be neglected in the formation of Roman character, hardly less important was the influence of the mother.
