Theodor Mommsen (1817-1903)

Theodor Mommsen, the eminent 19th century German philologist, legal scholar and historian, gained his early reputation through the collecting of Latin inscriptions, Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (see also) as source work for the until then almost exclusive ancient literary knowledge of the Roman antiquity, as well as coins. His two major works in his prime were Roman Constitutional Law and Roman Criminal Law. He was a foremost innovator in the study of Roman history, which would never be the same thereafter.
