The four-volume work is considered one of the most important works on ancient Rome. Although set in the realities of 19th-century science, it surprises with its modern source approach, boldness of interpretation and political commitment of the author, who has created a colorful and erudite story of the history of Rome from its beginnings to the fall of the republic, focusing mainly on political institutions, social reforms, class struggles and major military conflicts. Roman History is not a dry chronicle of events - it is a vivid story, full of evaluation and analysis, about the fate of the republic, its triumphs and mistakes. It is the most important work of Theodor Mommsen (1817-1903), German historian, poet and jurist, for which he won the Nobel Prize. Translated by Tomasz Dziekoński.
