199K0

Mommsen's main achievement is the study of ancient Roman history. "History of Rome" is a masterpiece of history that he completed after 30 years of hard work. His profound knowledge and democratic beliefs enabled him to illuminate this ancient society of more than two thousand years with new brilliance. He warmly praised Caesar, who was full of democratic spirit and rewarded science and art, but regarded Pang Ye only as a low-level officer who was good at training soldiers. This masterpiece has an encyclopedic breadth in presenting the politics, economy, military, culture, and customs of ancient Roman society. The writing style of the work is refined, the narrative is vivid, dramatic, and the characters are distinctive, which has high literary value. The great achievements of "History of Rome" have won the author a high reputation.
