History of Rome Under the Emperors

"The scope of Mommsen's lectures is magisterial, the judgements terse and memorable; but without Mommsen's name they would hardly have found a publisher. in Germany the publication is an event; for the rest of us, I suspect, it is not mush more than a curiosity. The true monuments to this very great scholar will continue to be his mighty books on Roman law and the collective scholarly enterprises of which he was the animating and directing spirit."Mommsen, Theodor is the author of 'History of Rome Under the Emperors', published 1999 under ISBN 9780415206471 and ISBN 0415206472.
