What reading level is The Story of the Romans book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Hadrian was very affable, and always ready to serve others. When asked why he, an emperor, troubled him- self thus about others, he replied : " I have been made emperor for the benefit of mankind and not for my own good. " Instead of continuing to enlarge the Roman Empire, as Trajan had done, Hadrian now said that it was large enough ; so he did all that he could to have it governed properly. He did not always remain at Rome, but made a grand journey through all his vast realm. Accompanied by... able men of every kind, he first visited Gaul, Germany, Holland, and Britain. Everywhere he went he inspected the buildings, ordered the construction of new aqueducts, temples, etc. , and paid particular atten- tion to the training of his armies. He shared the soldiers' fatigues, marched at their head twenty miles a day in the burning sun, and lived on their scanty fare of bread, 244 lard, and sour wine ; so none of his men ever dared com- plain. Wherever he went, Hadrian planned great improve- ments; and in Britain he built a rampart, or wall, seventy-three miles long, to protect the Britons from the barbarians who at that time lived in Scotland.
