Description

Theodor Mommsen was probably the most important classical scholar of the 19th century. Even almost 120 years after his death, his works on ancient history and epigraphy are still of fundamental importance, not only because his "Roman History" was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1902 - an honour that no scholar of humanities after him has ever received again.
