Focuses on the political and military history of the Roman Empire
Dr. Theodor Mommsen's extensive research into the languages, laws, and institutions of ancient Rome and Italy has garnered significant recognition among scholars. Although it may seem presumptuous for me to introduce his work on Roman history to the English-speaking audience, I felt compelled to share this important text. Encouraged by enthusiastic admirers of Dr. Mommsen in Germany, I undertook the task of making his History of Rome known in this country. My repeated readings of the German original convinced me of the author's merit and the admiration he deserves. Consequently, I persuaded my friend, Mr. George Robertson, to translate and publish a sample of the introductory chapters, focusing on the early inhabitants of Italy—an area where Dr. Mommsen’s expertise is unparalleled. I hoped this sample would spark interest in the complete work, and I am pleased to say that it has. The result is this translation, which I believe will resonate with readers. As for its merits, I leave that for others to determine.
