Autorenporträt

Theodor Mommsen (1817-1903) was a German classical scholar, historian, jurist, journalist, politician, and archaeologist. Mommsen is revered as one of the most prominent 19th-century scholars in the field of Roman history. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1902, recognizing his prolific and influential body of work, particularly his monumental 'History of Rome' which profoundly shaped the study of Roman civilization. Though Mommsen's 'Römische Geschichte' is often cited as his magnum opus, 'The Provinces of the Roman Empire' stands as a seminal work, offering a detailed and comprehensive look at the administration, society, and economy of the Roman provinces. His scholarly approach combined rigorous historical investigation with an engaging narrative style, which allowed a wider audience to access the complexities of Roman history. Mommsen combined his vast knowledge of epigraphy, law, and ancient texts to construct a vivid portrayal of the Roman world. His contributions to the understanding of Roman law cannot be overstated, with his 'Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum' remaining a critical resource for the study of Latin epigraphy. A prolific writer, Mommsen's literary style reflects his methodological rigor and narrative prowess, setting a high scholarly standard for generations of historians to follow.
