What reading level is The Mysteries of Mithra book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The cities *Cf. supra, p. 67. See also Frontispiece.
74 THE MYSTERIES OF MITHRA that sprang up along the routes leading from this port across Pannonia to the military strongholds on the Danube almost without exception favorably received the foreign god: they were ^mona, the Latobici, Nevio- dunum, and principally Siscia, on the course of the Save; and then toward the north Adrans, Celeia, Poetovio, received him with equal favor. In this manner, his devotees who were journeying from the shores o...f the Adriatic to Mœsia, on the one hand, or to Carnuntum on the other, could be received at every stage of their journey by co-religionists.
In these regions, as in the countries south of the Alps, Oriental slaves acted as the mis- sionaries of Mithra. But the conditions under which their propaganda was conducted were considerably different. These slaves were not employed in this country, as they were in the latifundia and the cities of Italy, as agricultural laborers, or stewards of wealthy land-owners, or municipal employees.
