What reading level is Pompeiana the Topography Edifices And Ornaments of Pompeii the Result of Exc book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is said to have been little known in Rome before 536, U. C, but this would give ample time for its use at Pompeii long before its destruction.
There are few subjects on which the learned seem to have been so generally mis- taken as that of the art of glass-making 98 POMPEIANA.
among the ancients, who seem to have been far more skilful than was at first imagined.
Not to mention the description of a burning- glass in the Nubes of Aristophanes, v. 764, the collection which Mr. Dodwell first for...med and brought into notice at Rome by repolish- ing the fragments, is sufficient to prove that specimens of every known marble, and of many not now existing in cabinets, as well as every sort of precious stone, were com- monly and most successfully imitated by the ancients, who used these imitations in cups and vases of every size and shape.
In the time of Martial, about a century after Christ, glass cups were common, ex- cept the calices allasontes, which displayed changeable or prismatic colours, and, as Vossius says, were procured in Egypt, and were so rare that Adrian sending some to Servianus ordered that they should only be used on great occasions.
