What reading level is Spartacus: Morituri book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The cellars were stocked to bursting with amphorae, some shipped in from the Mamertinum vineyards in Sicily, unloaded at Neapolis and brought north. There was even a jar of the famous Opimian vintage, over fifty years old and considered the finest wine ever pressed.
This, Batiatus fussed over like an old man with a young bride, for it had cost him the equivalent of three slaves. He kept it not in the cellars below, but instead in his office, in a cool corner, and while he was seated at his d...esk going over the household accounts, sometimes he would stare at it, and, depending on what his books told him, would either feel a ripple of pleasurable anticipation at the thought of his first mouthful, or would gnaw his thumb in a spasm of momentary doubt.
Most of the time, in truth, the doubt would prevail, for it could not be denied that the ludus was sliding heavily into debt with such preparations and expensive purchases. Batiatus alternated between beseeching the gods to bring the Roman visitor or visitors, whoever he, she, or they might be, not only to Capua but to the very doors of his villa, and cursing the self-same gods for teasing him with rumor, even as they withheld the fabled visitor—or visitors—from the city gates.
