The Period Anterior to the Abolition of the Monarchy Preparer's Note This work contains many literal citations of and references to foreign words, sounds, and alphabetic symbols drawn from many languages, including Gothic and Phoenician, but chiefly Latin and Greek. This English Gutenberg edition, constrained to the characters of 7-bit ASCII code, adopts the following orthographic conventions: 1) Except for Greek, all literally cited non-English words that do not refer to texts cited as academic references, words that in the source manuscript appear italicized, are rendered with a single preceding, and a single following dash; thus, -xxxx-. 2) Greek words, first transliterated into Roman alphabetic equivalents, are rendered with a preceding and a following double-dash; thus, xxxx. Note that in some cases the root word itself is a compound form such as xxx-xxxx, and is rendered as xxx-xxx3) Simple unideographic references to vocalic sounds, single letters, or alphabeic dipthongs; and prefixes, suffixes, and syllabic references are represented by a single preceding dash; thus, -x, or -xxx. 4) (Especially for the complex discussion of alphabetic evolution in Ch. XIV: Measuring and Writing). Ideographic references, meaning pointers to the form of representation itself rather than to its content, are represented as -"id:xxxx"-. "id:" stands for "ideograph", and indicates that the reader should form a picture based on the following "xxxx"; which may be a single symbol, a word, or an attempt at a picture composed of ASCII characters. E. g. "id:GAMMA gamma" indicates an uppercase Greek gamma-form followed by the form in lowercase. Some such exotic parsing as this is necessary to explain alphabetic development because a single symbol may have been used for a number of sounds in a number of languages, or even for a number of sounds in the same language at different times. Thus, -"id:GAMMA gamma" might very well refer to a Phoenician construct that in appearance resembles the form that eventually stabilized as an uppercase Greek "gamma" juxtaposed to one of lowercase. Also, a construct such as "id:E" indicates a symbol that with ASCII resembles most closely a Roman uppercase "E", but, in fact, is actually drawn more crudely. 5) Dr. Mommsen has given his dates in terms of Roman usage, A.U.C.; that is, from the founding of Rome, conventionally taken to be 753

This scholarly tome is written by one of the leading Classicists of the 19th Century. Theodor Mommsen, a Nobel Prize winner in literature, not only expounded Roman history up to the end of the Roman republic and the rule of Julius Caesar, but also closely compared the political thought and terminology of the ancient Republic, especially during its last century, with the situation of his own time.

** Für kurze Zeit zum kindle-Einführungspreis von 0,99 Euro Preis der achtbändigen Printausgabe: 68 Euro ** Theodor Mommsen: Römische Geschichte. Alle Bände erstmals in einem eBook Ca. 2800 Seiten, neu editiert, sprachlich überarbeitet und mit aktualisierter Rechtschreibung Mit zahlreichen Anmerkungen, verlinkten Fußnoten, mit Kindle-Inhaltsverzeichnis und einem aktuellen Vorwort des Herausgebers (Juni 2015) Das Großartige an Mommsens Römischer Geschichte und der Grund, warum es zum Weltbestseller wurde ist der Mut und die Unbefangenheit, mit der das Werk verfasst wurde. Hier war kein kleinkrämerischer, dröge die Zeiten vermessender Historiker am Werk, sondern ein Mann, der schwungvoll und in eleganten Zügen eine vergangene Zeit wieder zum Leben erweckte. So liest sich das Werk oft mehr wie ein spannender historischer Roman, als eine wissenschaftliche Studie jedoch auf einer Wissensbasis und mit einem Faktenreichtum der beispielhaft ist, und kaum je wieder in dieser Form erreicht wurde. In einem kühnen Bogen zeichnet Mommsen in den ersten drei Bänden die römische Geschichte von den Anfängen (ca. 750 vor Christus) bis zur Zeit Julius Caesars (100 44 v. Chr.), eine Epoche von rund 700 Jahren überspannend. © Redaktion eClassica Als ersten Deutscher erhielt Theodor Mommsen im Jahre 1902 den Literatur-Nobelpreis Über den Autor: Es war ein langer Weg, ehe Christian Matthias Theodor Mommsen (1817 1903) endlich eine ordentlich Professur antreten konnte. Er stammte aus einer Pfarrersfamilie, die in Oldesloe (Holstein) ansässig war. Ab 1834 besuchte er das Christianeum in Altona und begann im Mai 1838 ein Jurastudium an der Universität Kiel. Seine Leidenschaft aber war die Geschichtsschreibung. Mommsen strebte eine wissenschaftliche Karriere an, musste zunächst aber seinen Lebensunterhalt als Aushilfslehrer an zwei Mädchenpensionaten bestreiten. Doch ab 1847 startete er dank seiner intellektuellen Brillanz eine beispielhafte wissenschaftliche Karriere. Er wurde an die Preußische Akademie der Wissenschaften in Berlin berufen und erhielt 1861 einen Lehrstuhl für römische Altertumskunde an der Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität, wo er bis 1885 Vorlesungen hielt. Im Laufe seines Lebens verfasste er mehr als 1500 wissenschaftliche Studien und Abhandlungen zu verschiedenen Forschungsthemen. Seine berühmteste Publikation ist zweifellos die Römische Geschichte in mehreren Teilen, die dieses eBook ungekürzt enthält. © Redaktion eClassica ---- eClassica Die Buchreihe, die Klassiker neu belebt.

"One of the imperishable books of history, a rich and stirring narrative." — The History Book Club Review "Immensely readable." — The Times Literary Supplement (London) "If the reader has time for only one court of Mommsen's great mansion, this is the one to visit." — The New York Times The grand historical narratives of Nobel Prize–winning author Theodor Mommsen rival Gibbon, Macaulay, and Burckhardt in their scope and dramatic power. Originally published in three volumes from 1854 to 1856, The History of Rome chronicles the ancient empire's society and government from the second century BC to the end of the Republic and rise of Julius Caesar. Combining scientific learning with stylistic vigor, Mommsen's insights transcend new interpretations and discoveries. This abridged edition offers modern readers a unified and cohesive version of the great German scholar's vast and unsurpassed work.

The classical historian Theodor Mommsen (1817-1903) published his History of Rome between 1854 and 1856. His work was received with widespread acclaim by the scholarly community and the reading public. In 1902, in recognition of this monumental work, 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, using modern terms to express classical ideas, Mommsen drew bold parallels between the nineteenth century and classical Rome. Volume 1 begins with Rome's earliest origins and ends with the unification of Italy; it contains separate chapters on religion, law and justice, art, and writing. This 1862 translation is based on the German third edition (1861).

Theodor Mommsen, the son of a poor but scholarly Protestant minister, was born at Garding in the duchy of Schleswig on Nonember 30, 1817.
After receiving his early schooling at home and at a gymnasium in Altona near Hamburg, he attended the University of Kiel (1838 - 1843), studying law.
In 1843 Mommsen received a traveling scholarship from the Danish government and a small grant from the Berlin Academy for study in Italy. There he became acquainted with Bartolommeo Borghesi, an outstanding scholar of Latin inscriptions, who had a profound influence on Mommsen's future.
Mommsen was much influenced by the lectures of Otto John and by the writings of Friedrich Karl von Savigny; his interests became focused on the classical world, and he wrote his dissertation on Roman associations and made a study of Roman tribes.
During this time the plans for the monumental collection of Latin inscriptions (Corpus inscriptionum Latinarum) took shape, and it was published under the auspices of the Berlin Royal Academy of Science after 1861.
As a sample for this task, Mommsen collected the Samnite inscriptions and the Inscriptions of the Neapolitan Kingdom, which he published in 1852, dedicated to Borghesi.
In 1847 Mommsen returned to Schleswig, where he supported the independence struggle of the Elbe duchies from Denmark by editing and writing for the Schleswig-Holsteinische Zeitung, an organ of the provisional government. After the failure of this independence movement he accepted the chair of Roman law at the University of Leipzig (1848) but was dismissed from his position in 1851 for his support of the liberal cause during the revolution.
Before leaving Leipzig for an appointment at the University of Zurich in 1852, Mommsen had come to the attention of the publisher Karl Reimer, who persuaded him to write a popular but scholarly Roman History. The first three volumes, in addition to monographs on Roman Switzerland, were begun in Zurich and completed at the University of Breslau, where Mommsen taught from 1854 until 1858.
This work, published between 1854 and 1856, describes the history of the Roman Republic to the advent of Caesar's dictatorship and made Mommsen's name famous throughout Europe.
Plans for a fourth volume on the imperial period were never carried out. Instead he published a fifth volume, Roman Provinces under the Empire (1884), utilizing the Latin inscriptions collected for the Corpus inscriptionum.
Appointed editor for the Corpus inscriptionum in 1854, Mommsen received a professorship at Berlin (1858), where he remained for the rest of his life. These 45 years were filled with scholarship of stupendous proportions but of the highest quality. In addition to his continuing work on the Corpus inscriptionum, Mommsen published Römisches Staatsrecht, 3 vols. (1871-1888; Roman Constitutional Law); Römisches Strafrecht (1899; Roman Criminal Law); Reden und Aufsätze (1905; Speeches and Essays); and Gesammelte Schriften, 7 vols. (1905-1910; Collected Writings); and he participated in the Monumenta Germaniae, in studies on the Roman Limes and on numismatics, and in the Thesaurus linguae Latinae.
Mommsen died at Charlottenburg, a suburb of Berlin, on November 1, 1903.

A political liberal and patriot, he found much to criticize, both in his own country and abroad. He was torn between despising Bismarck and taking pride in his national accomplishments.
He was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1870.
Mommsen had sixteen children with his wife Marie (daughter of the publisher and editor Karl Reimer of Leipzig). Their oldest daughter Maria married Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, the great Classics scholar. Their grandson Theodor Ernst Mommsen (1905-1958) became a professor of medieval history in the United States. Two of the great-grandsons, Hans Mommsen and Wolfgang Mommsen, were prominent German historians.
