This three-volume English translation of Barthold Georg Niebuhr’s influentialHistory of Rome was published between 1828 and 1842. It follows the second German edition, which the author contrasts with the earlier edition (1811–1812, translated into English in 1827) as being ‘the work of a man who has reached his maturity’. The early part of the nineteenth century saw important developments in philological scholarship in Germany, and Niebuhr’s international careeras a statesman and scholar reflected Germany’s new-found confidence in the wider world. His book had a lasting impact both within its own subject area and on the understanding of history as an academic discipline, and was a landmark of nineteenth-century European scholarship. INDICE: Part I. Ancient Italy; Part II. The Preliminary History of Rome; Part III. Rome.
