«Das Weltreich der Römer» is the historical work by Theodor Mommsen, published by Athenaion in hardcover (418 pages, in German).
The book describes life in the provinces of the Roman Empire from Caesar to Diocletian and argues that the Roman ideal was realized outside Rome, in the conquered territories. It examines from Gaul and Hispania to the Near East and North Africa, showing how Roman law and customs mixed with local ones.
The work comes from the fifth volume of Mommsen's «Römische Geschichte»; this 1990 edition reproduces the unabridged text.
For readers interested in Roman history, the imperial period, and nineteenth-century historiography.
Christian Matthias Theodor Mommsen was a German classical scholar, historian, jurist, journalist, politician and archaeologist. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest classicists of the 19th century. He received the 1902 Nobel Prize in Literature for his historical writings, including The History of Rome, after having been nominated by 18 members of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. He was also a prominent German politician, as a member of the Prussian and German parliaments. His works on Roman law and on the law of obligations had a significant impact on the German civil code.
