The History of Rome, Book 1

In 1902, Theodor Mommsen was awarded the Nobel Prize for his comprehensive history, The History of Rome, which remains a foundational work in classical studies. Spanning the origins of Latin society through the death of Julius Caesar, the first of its five books offers an in-depth exploration of early Roman civilization, covering religion, family, law, trade, and political alliances. This volume sets the stage for a dramatic and scholarly journey through Republican Rome.
