 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's Roman History
Theodor Mommsen (1818-1903) wrote the three volumes of his narrative account of Roman history up to 46 BC in the 1850s, mostly in exile in Zurich, where he had fled after being dismissed from his post as a special professor (Extraordinarius) at the University of Leipzig for his involvement in the revolutionary events of 1848/49.
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.

 Biography of Theodor Mommsen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Theodor Mommsen (1817-1903) taught ancient history at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin from 1861.
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’.
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.

Mommsen also wrote authoritatively on Roman law, notably in Römisches Staatsrecht (3 vol., 1871-76) and Römisches Strafrecht (1899), and on archaeology.

 Rebenich: on Heuss: Theodor Mommsen und das 19. Jahrhundert
After dealing with Mommsen's intellectual and political formation, his academic teachers, his foundation of the Corpus of Latin Inscriptions and his participation in the 1848 revolution, Heuss painstakingly describes Mommsen's wide-ranging scholarly activities, analyses his productive relations with predecessors and contemporaries in the field of classical studies and emphasizes his achievements and limits.
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].

Describing the widening sphere of Roman influence, Mommsen first examines the acquisiton and control of Gaul, Spain, Britain, and the lands along the Danube, as well as Greece and Asia Minor; then he discusses Rome's more difficult domination of the present-day Middle East, North Africa, and the frontiers along the Euphrates.

 Theodor Storm: Introduction
STORM, Theodor Woldsen (Husum, Schleswig, 1817-88 Hademarschen, Holstein), studied law, which he practised for the greater part of his life in his native Husum before his retirement, in 1880, from his office as Amtsgerichtsrat.
He was impatient both of the privi­leged nobility and of Prussia, and this antagonism did not diminish during the years spent in Prussian service; his contacts in Berlin with the literary club 'Der Tunnel Über der Spree', and notably with Theodor Fontane, sharpened his northern individualism, though they stimulated his development as a writer.
Storm formed a friendship with Theodor and his brother Tycho Mommsen at school, and the three were joint editors of the Liederbuch dreier Freunde (1843).
