English The History of Rome (Volumes 1-5) Reading ease score: 40.2 (College-level). Difficult to read. E-text prepared by David Ceponis "The History of Rome (Volumes 1-5)" by Theodor Mommsen is a comprehensive historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the rise and fall of Rome, exploring its roots, political structures, military conquests, and cultural influences throughout various periods, beginning from its ancient foundations through its expansion across the Mediterranean. The opening portion of the text sets the stage for this grand narrative by introducing the geographical and cultural context of ancient Italy. It outlines the key phases of ancient civilization within the Mediterranean sphere, emphasizing the distinct development of the Italian peninsula. Mommsen begins by discussing the early migrations into Italy, the formation of ethnic groups such as the Latins, and the geographical features of the region that influenced its historical trajectory. Noteworthy is the author's distinction between mere political history and a deeper exploration of the Italian essence, indicating a focus not solely on Rome but also on the Italian people's identity within the broader context of ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
