What reading level is The Pre Mohammedan Coinage of Northwestern India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This seems to be borne out by the three distinct dynasties of kings whose names have been preserved on their coins. That pro- ceeding from Vonones and his lieuten- ants, Spalahores and Spalagadames, held to the west of the Indus ; a second dynasty from Maues (or Moas) and the Azes, on both sides of that river; and a third in Sind and the west of Central India. To this last the great satrap Nahapana be- longed.
AND MONOGRAPHS 32 PRE-MOHAMMEDAN There is no direct historical evidence that the Saka...s ever occupied the Punjab, but the three monarchs Moas, Azes and Azilises, whose coins are found abun- dantly in the Northwest Punjab and Hazara, are accepted as Saka Scythians. They issued an extensive silver and copper bilingual coinage, the Greek legend being quite legible. Like that of the Indo-Bactrian princes, this coinage is without a ^single specimen in gold, with the possible exception of a tiny gold piece in the Lahore Museum bearing the unique name Athama. In sharp contrast with the Indo-Bactrian coins the pieces of the Indo-Scythians never give us a portrait of the ruler.
