To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A secret consul- tation had been held. No measures sufficiently conducive to their safety could be adopted. Whatever evil was meditated by the soldiers, it was impossible to avert or elude it. The towers and gates were in their hands. Circumspection or dis- guise would avail nothing. If the danger had assumed any known form, suitable precautions could scarcely be discovered; but now, when all was uncertain and inscrutable, a frank and fearless deportment was most proper. The presence of the sen...ate and magistrates was necessary at the public shows. My mind was actuated by inexplicable fears, and I would willingly have forborne to attend ; but re- flection convinced me that my life was equally in the power of the soldiers, in the recesses of my palace, and in the courts of the citadel. Noon arrived, thousands hurried to the hippodrome; the concourse was uncommonly large, as numbers from the neigh- bouring villages and districts flocked to the spectacle; all benches were quickly filled and galleries crowded ; I proceed- ed thither at the head of the senatorial order, and was received with low obeisance by the guards, and with loud acclamations by the people.
