Theodor Mommsen 
The History of Rome (Volumes 1-5) [EPUB ebook] 

’The History of Rome’ is multi-volume research of ancient Rome written by Theodor Mommsen, one of the classics of historical science. Mommsen rejected traditional Enlightenment-era tone, which used to glorify ancient Rome. Instead, based on a new and rigorous criticism of sources, Mommsen began the demythologization of Roman history. In 1902, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature and acclaimed as ’the greatest living master of the art of historical writing.’
