E-text prepared by David Ceponis
"The History of Rome, Book I" by Theodor Mommsen is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on the period preceding the abolition of the Roman monarchy, detailing the early migrations and developments of various Italian tribes as they formed distinct cultures leading to the emergence of Rome. Mommsen’s thorough exploration lays a foundational understanding of Rome's historical context, including its geography, early inhabitants, and the socio-political structures that shaped its civilization. At the start of this work, Mommsen introduces the broad geographical and cultural landscape of ancient Italy, emphasizing its significance in the Mediterranean world. He discusses the interplay between various ethnic groups, including the Umbrians, Sabellians, and Latins, and outlines the foundational elements of early Italian society, including agriculture, tribal organization, and settlement patterns. With careful scrutiny of linguistic and archaeological evidence, he articulates the gradual unification of these tribes under Latin dominance, setting the stage for Rome's ascension as a central power. This opening portion thus establishes the key thematic elements that will underpin the detailed historical narrative to follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
