What reading level is Tacitus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The upper classes, who looked on the Claudian prince as a supplanter of the Julian line, yet more deeply resented the intrusion of one whom they regarded as an upstart — the obscure offspring of a borough town {municipalis), having no ancestral claims on their respect, and whose family name had never been inscribed on the calendar of consuls (Fasti). Like the favorite counsellor of Augustus, Sejanus came of an old Etruscan house ; but Maecenas had never risen above the rank of a knight, and was... modest in his demeanour and habits of life. On the contrary, the man whom Tiberius delighted to honor was notorious for his arrogance, and the higher he rose in public rank or imperial favor, the more he was fawned upon and hated. When Caesar indeed proclaimed the virtues of this lucky adventurer, who would dare to call them in question 1 In everything the emperor, now advanced in years, weary of public business, and conscious that he was detested by a majority of the Roman citizens, gave way to Sejanus.
