What reading level is The Literary Work of Ammianus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" 11. Et imperator "rapere" inquit, "non accipere sciunt agentes in rebus. " 12. "'incusent' iura clementiam, sed imperatorem mitissimi animi legibus praestare sevens decet. " Such is the characterization of Julian in some ten pages of Ammianus, after the first appearance of his hero Emperor upon the scene as Caesar. We shall now turn to the portion of the Annals where Germanicus is portrayed under not unlike conditions. We shall find very little of the presence of the author's personality that... marks the writing of Ammianus. The author's comments are so rare that their presence is always a surprise. We get our first glimpse of Germanicus in the historian's most objective fashion, through the medium of the thoughts of Tiberius, one of whose chief causes for apprehension at the death of Augustus was (Ann. , I. 7) "ne Germanicus, in cuius manu tot legiones, immensa sociorum auxilia, mirus apud populum favor, habere imperium quam exspectare mallet. " There is no characteri- zation of Germanicus here — simply a background of "mirus apud populum favor" to make us desirous to know more of this people's darling.
