The classical historian Theodor Mommsen (1817 1903) published his
monumental History of Rome between 1854 and 1856. His work was
received with widespread acclaim by the scholarly community and the
reading public. In 1902 Mommsen was awarded the Nobel Prize for
Literature and acclaimed as 'the greatest living master of the art
of historical writing'. Mommsen rejected traditional Enlightenment
accounts, which glorified ancient Rome; instead, guided by a new
and rigorous criticism of sources, he began the demythologisation
of Roman history. In a vivacious and engaging style, Mommsen drew
bold parallels between the nineteenth century and classical Rome.
Volume 4 covers the establishment of the military monarchy; this
English translation, first published in 1866, corresponds to the
fourth edition of the German third volume. Part 1 begins with the
death of Sulla and ends with the subjugation of the West.
