What reading level is Spain Under the Roman Empire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The chief districts were Bastica and Tarraco, with other parts of north-eastern Spain, the produce of which last. Martial hints, was not always of the finest quality.^ Pliny highly praises the Baetic olives, and oil was an important article of export. It was prepared in iron vessels into which warm water was poured; and then skimmed, and flavoured with a bitter extract from olive leaves, whence perhaps Galen recommends Spanish oil for use in medicine.
Both flax and esparto grass proved very pro...fitable to the growers. Flax came from Tarraconensis, Asturia, and Gallaecia, the most famous centre for its manu- facture being Sastabis in the south-east, from which handkerchiefs and napkins of the finest quality took their name. It was used for linen veils, bolters, sieves, and nets, and, as Pliny says, sails of Spanish flax brought Spain within four days of Italy. The water of the river at Tarraco was thought to lend it a peculiar lustre.* The esparto trade flourished, especially round Car- 1 Polyb.
