What reading level is A Manual of Ancient Geography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The islands as a whole belonged to its domain, and were therefore called at t£>v Ki.ira.pai.uiv vrjcroi.
1 Malta was the only point in the Western Mediterranean where the manufacture of cotton was practised in antiquity (the vestes melitenses of the Romans).
243. Sardinia, Gr. SapSw, was wrongly supposed by the ancients to be the largest island in the Mediterranean.
In the east it is filled with jagged limestone mountains, whose peaks however do not exceed 6,000 feet (among them were the monies... insani, so called from the storms that were dreaded on the dangerous rocky coasts), in the west with separate and partially volcanic groups of mountains.
Between these lay extensive and very fertile plains, but, from their marshy character, breeding fever. Large gangs of convicts were introduced in Roman times to cultivate them. The oldest inhabitants seem to have been of Iberian (or, according to other authorities, Libyan) stock.
They maintained themselves among the mountains unmixed and practically independent down to Roman times.
