Theodor Mommsen

Their life

Christian Matthias Theodor Mommsen lived from 1817 to 1903 and worked as a German classical scholar, historian, jurist, journalist, politician, and archaeologist. Many historians regard him as one of the greatest classicists of the nineteenth century. The reference material does not confirm his birthplace or place of death, so this account does not give them.

In 1902 he received the Nobel Prize in Literature for his historical writings, the most prominent of which is The History of Rome. Eighteen members of the Prussian Academy of Sciences nominated him for the honor.

Mommsen also took an active part in public life as a member of both the Prussian and the German parliaments. His scholarship on Roman law and on the law of obligations had a notable influence on the German civil code.
