History of Rome (volume 3)
About This Novel
The third volume of "Roman History" mainly tells the story from the unification of Rome to the conquest of Carthage and the Greek countries, and the two Punic Wars with Carthage for the dominance of the western Mediterranean; and the Eastern War with Macedonia and Antioch for the eastern Mediterranean. The book describes in detail the course of the war, Rome's missteps and military exploits, as well as the relationship between the Roman Republic and surrounding ethnic city-states. The study of war occupies three-quarters of this volume, and then the writing shifts to a more detailed study of the internal political structure, economic structure, and foreign trade of the Roman Republic, and an in-depth comparative study of Roman beliefs and customs, literature and art, and its exchanges with Greek culture. The third volume of "History of Rome" cites a large number of data and original documents of Cato and others, as well as relevant works of ancient Roman playwrights and poets. This provides very rich materials for researchers engaged in Roman history and provides readers with a large number of reference elements. As a German, Mommsen laid a solid scientific foundation for the work with his German rational thinking and rigorous logic. It is a classic historical research work.
