What reading level is The Story of Rome As Greeks And Romans Tell It An Elementary Source book book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
18. The mutiny in Germany. Tacitus, Annals, i. 31. At last when there were others ready to join the mutiny, he asked in the tone of a demagogue why, like slaves, they submitted to a few centurions and still fewer tribunes. " When will you dare demand relief, " he asked, " if you do not go with your prayers or arms to a new and feeble throne? For many years we have blundered enough by our tameness in enduring thirty or forty campaigns till we grow old, most of us with bodies maimed by wounds. Ev...en dismissal is not the end of our service, but quartered under a legion's standard, we continue to toil through the same hardships under another title. If a soldier survives so many risks, he is then dragged into remote regions, where under the name of lands he receives soaking swamps or mountain wastes. "Assuredly military service is burdensome and unprofit- able ; ten asses a day is the value set on life and limb. Out of this amount clothing, arms, tents, as well as the mercy of centurions and exemptions from duty have to be purchased.
