What reading level is The Towns of Roman Britain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There were potteries of purple or black ware at Upchurch, on the S. bank of the Medway. Leaden coffins, elaborately ornamented glass and bronze vessels, and gold and silver orna- ments, have been found in Roman cemeteries. The city itself occupies the site of the Roman Durover- num (Celtic, dwr- — water), and was established upon that ford of the Stour at which the roads from the four harbour-fortresses before mentioned became united into the one great military way through Britain, which became... known as Watling Street in later times.
The Romans do not seem (at least towards the end of their occupation) to have made the city a military centre, or given it a permanent garrison, but rather to have used it as a halting place for troops on the march.
In a commercial sense (lying, as it did, in the direct path of all the south-eastern continental traffic of 25 The Towns of Roman Britain Britain) its importance at this epoch must have been considerable. The Cathedral stands on the site of a church founded in Roman times, and given by King Ethelbert (together with his own palace adjacent) to Augustine and his monks.
