What reading level is The Religion of Ancient Rome book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

On that day the first must of the newvintage and the wine of the old were solemnly tasted, apparently as aspell against disease, the worshipper using the strange formula, 'Idrink the new and the old wine, with new wine and old I heal (_medeor_)disease. ' This ceremony gave its name to the festival and was the causeof the subsequent evolution of an eponymous deity, Meditrina, but thereis little doubt that in origin here, as in the other wine-festivals, the deity concerned was at first Iuppiter. ...Among the other rusticceremonies of the month we may notice the festival of springs(_Fontinalia_) on October 13: wells were decorated with garlands andflowers flung into the waters.
=3. Festivals of the Winter. =--The winter-festivals cannot be summed upunder one general notion so easily as those of spring or summer, butthey fall fairly naturally into two groups--the festivals immediatelyconnected with agricultural life and those associated with the dead andthe underworld or with solemn purification.
