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, Mommsen began the
demythologisation of Roman history. In a vivacious and engaging
style, Mommsen drew bold parallels between the nineteenth century
and classical Rome. Volume 3 covers the turbulent period from the
reforms of Tiberius Gracchus to the death of Sulla, with separate
chapters on nationality, religion and education, and the Roman
economy. This English translation, first published in 1863, is
based on the German third edition (1861).
