What reading level is A General History of Rome book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He had refosed to indite a public defence of the assassination of Geta. Caracalla was, perhaps, the most frantic in his cruelties of all the tyrants who disgraced the purple of the CaBsars. He was more rude and illiterate than even Commodus. His countenance, as represented in existing busts, is that of a wild beast rather than a man. The prince must have been lost to all self-respect who could allow it to be exhibited to the dismay and horror of his subjects. He fled, indeed, from Rome, and roa...med about the remoter provinces of the empire, without the pretence of putting himself at the head of his armies. His wanderings were those of a disturbed and restless conscience. Wherever he went he exhibited the same wanton tyranny ; but the sojourn he made at Alexandria was ren- dered specially infamous for the frightful massacre of the people executed by his orders, in revenge, as is supposed, for some un- mannerly gibes in which they had too lightly indulged. The reign of this monster, execrated both at Rome and in the prov- inces, and despised by the army, was protracted, perhaps by con- stant change of residence, for a space of six years.
