What reading level is The History of the Decline And Fall of the Roman Empire, volume 7 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the first attempt, the Roman forces were dissipated by a storm. In the second they ap- proached the shore ; but they saw the hills covered with archers, the landing-place defended by a line of spears, and the king of the Goths impatient for battle. The conqueror of Italy retired with a sigh, and continued to languish, inglorious and inactive, till Antonina, who had been sent to Constantinople to solicit succours, obtained, after the death of the empress, the permission of his return.
The ^ve... last campaigns of Belisarius might abate the envy of his competitors, whose eyes had been dazzled and wounded by the blaze of his former glory. Instead of delivering Italy from the Goths, he had wandered like a fugitive along the coast, without daring to march into the country, or to accept the bold and repeated challenge of Totila.
Yet in the judgment of the few who could discri- minate counsels from events, and compare the in- struments with the execution, he appeared a more consummate master of the art of war, than in the * Ruscia, the navak Thuriarum, was transferred to the distance of sixty stadia to Ruscianum, Rossano, an archbishopric without suffragans.
