To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If my own opinion will weigh aught, I may add that for myself I have not a doubt that the report springs from truth. When at Eome, it was commonly spoken of — and by those, too, whom I knew to be near the emperor — that Aurelian felt himself aggrieved and insulted that a woman should hold under her dominion territories that once be- longed to Eome, and who had wrested them from Eome by defeat of Eoman generalsj-and had sworn to restore the empire in the East, as well as West, to its ancient bou...nds. At Palmyra, too, I found those who were of deep intelli- gence in the politics of the times, who felt sure of nothing more than that, what with the pride of Zenobia and the ambition of Aurelian, war was inevitable. I tell thee these things as they fell upon my ear. Before this, as I think, it is most likely that war may have broken out between the two nations. " " Thou hast now spoken, Jew, " said Calpurnius. " Hadst thou said these things at first, thou hadst spared me much tormenting doubt.
