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.
