It certainly seems like the key works in any historical subfield get narrower over time. Mommsen already wrote Romische Staatrecht so we're reduced to, like, 'the role of the urban quaestor in the middle republic on days when the moon was full.'

Hi! That's from Stefan Rebenich's "Theodor Mommsen und Adolf Harnack: Wissenschaft und Politik im Berlin des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert" (1997) p. 461

For #ReliefWednesday, a fascinating piece of #spolia from the garden façade of the #VillaMedici. The central panel shows a suovetaurilia sacrifice, confidently assigned by Theodor #Mommsen and his successors to the Ara Pietatis Augusti, built by #Tiberius. #AncientBluesky 🏺

Bueno, no te creas que la cosa fue tan rotunda... segun Mommsen hubo mucho gato encerrado, y no olvidemos que lo que sabemos es lo que cuenta el mismo Ciceron, que le gustaba mucho darse coba

Not every day that a professional classicist wins the Nobel Prize for Literature (last one was Th. Mommsen in 1902). We investigate Anne Carson's Classics here on Instant Classics: www.youtube.com/watch?v=js6k...

Der Glaube, dass es nutzlos ist, gegen radikale Uebel mit Theil- und Palliativexemplen einzuschreiten, weil sie dieselben doch nur theilweise heilen, ist ein [...] seit jeher mit Erfolg verkündigtes Glaubensbekenntnis, aber deswegen nicht minder widersinnig.

Mommsen hablando sobre Francia en 1880 o sobre Argentina en 2026 quién sabe.

Ich würde auch Mommsen Kuss zurück auf die Augen

I’m afraid I am now legally obligated to inform you that Theodor Mommsen claimed there was never any institution to which the concept of legitimacy was so alien as the Augustan Principate and then explain why he was wrong, again

I wish Everyman’s or World’s Classics or Modern Library would reprint the unabridged Mommsen history of Rome

sure the scholarship’s superseded. but that doesn’t drive Carlyle’s Fr Rev out of print? & Mommsen won the Nobel Prize mainly for it! the second Lit prize ever!
