What reading level is The Annals of Tacitus Books I to Vi book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Piso, having in the meantime made an un- successful attempt to attack the fleet which was lying close in shore, now returned to the fortress. Standing on the ramparts, and alternately making gestures of despair and calling upon individual soldiers by their names, he essayed by offers of bribes to incite the veterans to mutiny ; and he so worked upon their feelings that a standard-bearer of the sixth legion went over to him with his standard. Sentius thereupon commanded the bugles and trumpets t...o be sounded, and gave orders for an assault upon the ramparts. He directed scaling ladders to be placed against the walls, and bade the most resolute of his men ascend them while the rest hurled spears, rocks, and lighted torches from the machines. Piso's obstinate resistance was at length over- come. He begged that, on surrendering his arms, he might be allowed to remain in the fort while Caesar was consulted on the question of the appointment of the governor of Syria. These conditions were not accepted : the only con- cession was the offer of ships and a safe-conduct to Rome.
