'Reading this book now puts you in touch with two worlds: ancient
Rome and the austere scholarship of nineteenth century,
pre-Wilhelmine Germany.' - Daily Telegraph
'The editors do a valiant job in their introduction, trying to
catch something of the spirit of this extraordinary man.' - The
Independent
'Historians of Germany as well as Rome may profit from this
splendid volume.' - The Times
'It has been superbly done. Demandt gives the full story both of
Mommsen's history and the Hensels' lecture notes, while Wiedemann
puts Mommsen in his historical context.' - Peter Levi, Sunday
Telegraph
'It is a marvellous book, striking in detail, lucid and pleasingly
unfair in argument, deeply sound in its root feelings and
prejudices and genuinely helpful. It is the best book for those who
dislike the Roman Empire, and is often very funny, and what
underlies the remarkably dotty view he takes, for example of
Virgil, is in itself most illuminating. It is years since I came
across such a great book.' - Peter Levi, The Spectator Books of the
Year
'This edition, with its extensive notes, is a tremendous
achievement and a gift to anyone interested in the full story of
the Roman Empire.' - Contemporary Review
