To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
470. ] The gates of the city were thrown open, and the new emperor of theRomans, encompassed on every side by the Gothic arms, was conducted, intumultuous procession, to the palace of Augustus and Trajan. After hehad distributed the civil and military dignities among his favorites andfollowers, Attalus convened an assembly of the senate; before whom, ina format and florid speech, he asserted his resolution of restoring themajesty of the republic, and of uniting to the empire the provinces ofEgy...pt and the East, which had once acknowledged the sovereignty of Rome. Such extravagant promises inspired every reasonable citizen with a justcontempt for the character of an unwarlike usurper, whose elevationwas the deepest and most ignominious wound which the republic had yetsustained from the insolence of the Barbarians. But the populace, with their usual levity, applauded the change of masters. The publicdiscontent was favorable to the rival of Honorius; and the sectaries, oppressed by his persecuting edicts, expected some degree ofcountenance, or at least of toleration, from a prince, who, in hisnative country of Ionia, had been educated in the Pagan superstition, and who had since received the sacrament of baptism from the hands of anArian bishop.
