What reading level is Italy Old And New book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This Hiero is one of the monarchs who proved that peace has her victories no less re- nowned than war by gathering to his court the great literary geniuses of his time, Aeschylus, Pindar, Simon- ides, Bacchylides. The defeat of the Athenians in 413 B. C. Is signalized by another great silver medallion with a suit of Athenian armor under the victorious quadriga. Timoleon's altruistic restoration of the free life of the city 343 is symbolized in a coin bearing the head of Zeus the Liberator. Pyrr...hus' victories over Sicily 278-5 B. C. Produced a gold coin with the head Spring in Sicily 127 of Athena on the obverse and a victory on the reverse. We know the face of Theocritus' patron, Hiero II, from his coin-portrait; we know too the likeness of his wife Philistis, whose name is carved on the theater. Another coin gives us the profile of Hieronymus who by allying himself with the Carthaginians, brought on the Romans' siege of Syracuse and Marcellus' victory. Then the glorious days of the city were over and it was the prey of the vandalism of a Verres and of the con- quests of Byzantines, Arabs and Normans.
