      Dr. Theodor Mommsen's extensive research into the languages, laws, and institutions of ancient Rome and Italy has garnered significant recognition among scholars. Although it may seem presumptuous for me to introduce his work on Roman history to the English-speaking audience, I felt compelled to share this important text. Encouraged by enthusiastic admirers of Dr. Mommsen in Germany, I undertook the task of making his History of Rome known in this country. My repeated readings of the German original convinced me of the author's merit and the admiration he deserves. Consequently, I persuaded my friend, Mr. George Robertson, to translate and publish a sample of the introductory chapters, focusing on the early inhabitants of Italy—an area where Dr. Mommsen’s expertise is unparalleled. I hoped this sample would spark interest in the complete work, and I am pleased to say that it has. The result is this translation, which I believe will resonate with readers. As for its merits, I leave that for others to determine. This book is a reproduction of a significant historical work, and Forgotten Books employs advanced technology to digitally reconstruct it, preserving the original format while addressing imperfections. Any remaining flaws are intentionally retained to maintain the integrity of the historical text.

      Die Darstellung bietet eine umfassende Analyse der spätantiken Welt, indem sie die Provinzen und Grenzgebiete des Imperium Romanum beleuchtet. Mommsen verfolgt das Ziel, die oft verzerrte Wahrnehmung der römischen Kaiserzeit zu korrigieren und ein differenziertes Kulturbild zu schaffen. Im Fokus steht der Gegensatz zwischen dem westlichen Rom und dem hellenisierten Osten, wobei die Romanisierung Italiens und die römischen Annexionen in den Vordergrund gerückt werden. Dies führt zu einer tiefgehenden Auseinandersetzung mit der Geschichte und Kultur der römischen Provinzen von Cäsar bis Diocletian.
