What reading level is Oaths Their Origin Nature And History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This chapter was first written, but which bears so strongly on the point before us, and throws so much light on the practice, that I cannot persuade myself to omit it altogether. It was about two hundred years before Christ, that C. Valerius Flaccus was elected edile ; but because he was Flamen Dialis, or priest of Jupiter, he could not take the oaths of office ; and no magistrate elect could carry on the duties of his office for more than five days without taking those oaths. When Flaccus appl...ied for a dispensation, the senate decreed that, if the edile would find an approved substitute to take the oath in his stead, the consuls, if they should see fit, might negotiate with the tribunes the matter of an appeal to the people. Lucius, the edile's brother, was nominated as his brother's proxy, and the people passed an order, that it should stand just as if the edile had sworn in his own person *.
* Scivit ut perinde esset ac si ipse sedilis jurasset.
Liv. Xxxi. 50.
285 SECTION I.
