What reading level is Rome of To-Day And Yesterday: the Pagan City book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Eemains of mosaic pave- ment indicate that this building, whatever it was, originally extended across and beyond the space where the modem street runs. No ruins in Eome are more obscure than these. What portion of them should be attributed to Nero it is impossible to determine. It is said that Agrippina began here a temple of Claudius, who had received apothe- osis after his death, and that Nero destroyed it. Whether his successors in turn destroyed his buildings we cannot be sure : it is gener...ally believed that a great residence, built here by a certain Vectilius not otherwise noteworthy became imperial property about a century later, and was enlarged and occupied by the Emperor Commodus; which may, however, mean only that Vectilius had enlarged and recon- structed the Neronian building. The names both of Clau- dius and Nero linger here : the modern street takes its name from the elder Emperor, and the ancient designation of this corner of the hill as the Nymphaeum Neronis com- memorates the younger.
