	Mommsen's Roman History
		Mommsen was the first to consider the crisis of the final century of the republic, beginning in the time of the Gracchi, as the Roman revolution.
		Mommsen considered the Augustan Principate to be a dyarchy, a joint rule of Princeps and senate, under which the Princeps administered one part of the Empire, and the senate the other.
		Mommsen's friendly feelings towards England do not have to be connected with his equally negative attitude to the Irish: one would not expect that lack of sympathy for Ireland from a liberal who took national self-determination as a natural right.

	Mommsen, Theodor
		Within the next several decades Mommsen made the corpus of Latin inscriptions into a source work that was essential in complementing the one-sidedly literary tradition and that, for the first time, made a comprehensive understanding of life in the ancient world possible.
		In Mommsen's view it was important that the ancients should come down to earth from the Olympian heights upon which they appeared to the mass of the public.
		When, several decades later, in Berlin, Mommsen set out to complete his history, he abandoned the idea of writing the fourth volume, which was to contain the history of the emperors, because he felt that he would not be capable of writing it in the same brilliant style as his history of the republic.

		Mommsen was the first to effectively combine the mastery of the tradition of literary history and the archaeological skills of a great epigraphist.
		Mommsen's opinion of Hadrian is indicative of his opinion of the entire period, though Hadrian (as was cited before) is held in higher esteem as an administrator than are his colleagues.
		Gregorovius is in the vein of Gibbon, not Mommsen, and while he mentions the new documentary evidence produced by the "ceaseless researches of science,"[[44]] he is either unwilling or incapable of employing it to any great extent in his narrative.

	Theodor Mommsen
		Mommsen produced an enormous quantity of texts - there are over 1 000 entries in the bibliography of his writings compiled by Karl Zangemeister and Emil Jacobs in 1905.
		Mommsen was devoted to scientific research and his profound knowledge of auxiliary science in historical studies was unique.
		Mommsen's first three volumes of The History of Rome, written in vigorous and lively style, spanned the Roman republic from its origins to 46 B.C. The work brought Mommsen acclaim throughout Europe, but he was also accused of "journalism": turning the real state of affairs upside-down.

	Biography of Theodor Mommsen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Mommsen saw himself, however, primarily as a jurist and philologist, whose task it was to bring to light the objective testimony of classical antiquity and to ‘put these archives of the past into order’.
		In addition to his many scientific works, Mommsen gained a seat in the Prussian parliament from 1863-66 for the ‘Fortschritt’ (‘Progressive’) Party, then from 1873-79 for the ‘Nationalliberalen’ (National Liberals’;), and then from 1881-84 he was a representative in the Reichstag for the ‘Sexession’, a group which had broken away from the National Liberals.
		Mommsen’s political opinions which he gave with polemic sharpness were increasingly well received from the late 1870s (as for example with Bismarck after he broke away from the Liberals and during the dispute about anti-Semitism in Berlin) on the basis of his reputation as a world famous researcher.

	Rebenich: on Heuss: Theodor Mommsen und das 19. Jahrhundert
		It is due to Heuss that all attempts made by contemporaries and biographers to marginalize or minimize Mommsen's political statements (and outbursts) are cogently rejected once for all[7].
		Mommsen is thus represented as paradigm, indeed as perfect personification of the German bourgeoisie in the 19th century, tormented with deep political frustrations and combining firm belief in scientific progress and historical cognition with persevering zest for work and assiduous sense of duty.
		Heuss surely underestimated the importance of Mommsen's unpublished correspondence for reconstructing the latter's scholarly and especially political acitivities[9], as for instance Mommsen's exchange of letters with the theologian Adolf Harnack proves[10].

		Mommsen spricht dann warnend von jenen „entsetzlichen Barbareien der Zivilisation, wo die Gesittung plötzlich das Steuerruder verliert und die nackte Gemeinheit vor uns hintritt, gleichsam um zu warnen vor dem kindischen Glauben, als vermöge die Zivilisation aus der Menschennatur die Bestialität auszuwurzeln”.

		Theodor Mommsen (1818^-1903), a great German historian, never completed his projected four-volume history of Rome; the manuscript for the final volume, covering the period from the fall of the republic to the collapse of imperial authority in the west, was destroyed by fire in 1880.
		Mommsen clearly and publicly stated his discomfort with writing a book about the Imperial Period, for a number of reasons recorded in the introduction by Demandt.
		The historical truth is that Mommsen went on to write a V volume of the History of Rome, concerning the Roman provinces, but he never wrote the one about the emperors.

	Guardian \| Wolfgang Mommsen
		The historian Wolfgang Mommsen, who has died of a heart attack while bathing in the Baltic Sea at the age of 73, was a leading member of a remarkable generation of liberal and left-leaning historians who championed a more critical attitude to the German past from the 1960s onwards.
		He came from a famous family of scholars: his great-grandfather was Theodor Mommsen, a leading late 19th-century liberal and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature for his trilogy on the history of ancient Rome.
		On their simultaneous retirement in 1996, the Mommsen twins spoke jointly at a seminars in London and Cambridge: their mutual competitiveness had not diminished with time, and it was almost impossible for other participants to get a word in edgeways as each launched into a string of criticisms of the other's paper.
