What reading level is The Decline of the Roman Republic book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This King Ariobarzanes I.^ who assumed the name of Philo- romaeus or friend of the Romans^ resigpied his kingdom to his son Ariobarzanes II. The possessions of Mithridates within the limits described above (vol. ii., p. 256) were now in the hands of Pompeius. who after making the several grants already mentioned distributed the remainder of the Pontic kingdom into eleven divisions^ which he attached to Bithynia to make with it one province. The general disposed of principalities and kingdoms^ a...nd made provinces in royal fashion^ but with our knowledge of Roman character we may doubt if he was so generous without the hope of profit. It was prudent not to seize valuable things, which according to law it was the quaestor's business to take possession of and to enter in his books ; but when we learn that Ariobarzanes III., the grand- son of the first Ariobarzanes, was so deeply indebted to Pom* peius that he could not keep up the payment of the interest, we conclude that the origin of this debt was some engagement made at the time when Ariobarzanes I.
