LA GRAN OBRA SOBRE LOS PRIMEROS SIGLOS DE ROMA Llevado por la pasión y sus vastos conocimientos, Theodor Mommsen proyectó una obra para explicar la historia de Roma desde sus orígenes. El resultado es un monumental trabajo que no solo lo convirtio en el erudito clasicista mas destacado del siglo XIX, sino que ademas le hizo merecedor de recibir el Premio Nobel de Literatura. A pesar del tiempo que ha pasado desde su aparicion, sigue siendo una de las grandes referencias dedicadas a la epoca de la Republica romana y una de las joyas literarias de la historiografia de todos los tiempos. Este primer volumen de Historia de Roma recoge los dos primeros libros, dedicados a narrar el periodo que va desde la fundacion de la ciudad hasta la unificacion de los estados de la peninsula Italica. "El mas grandioso maestro con vida del arte de la escritura historica". Jurado del Premio Nobel de Literatura

Estan perfectamente conformes, tanto los juriconsultos como los historiadores y los filologos, en que no existe una ciencia del derecho penal romano. Mi deseo, y hasta cierto punto tambien esperanza, es que el presente libro llene el vacio que tan a menudo se siente.

Documento etnográfico y político, económico y cultural de primer orden, esta obra es un arsenal precioso de datos para el estudio de la historia de los pueblos de la cuenca del Mediterráneo. Es cierto que Mommsen hacia hablar a las piedras. Y ellas le entregaron, en gran parte, el secreto de la intensa vida provincial, oculto hasta entonces bajo la superestructura de una tradicion basada en los escritos centralistas de los historiadores y los escritores romanos. Sus capitulos mejor logrados, con ser todos magistrales, son aquellos que versan sobre las partes del imperio, como los paises danubianos y las tierras del Asia menor, cuyas inscripciones estudio y edito dentro del gran Corpus inscriptionum.
