The book explores the significance of that work for the generations of historians and other authors in the Hellenistic age (323-31 BC). It is the first monograph that fully treats the question of the fate of the History in the Hellenistic world.The book collects and analyses for the first time all the fragmentary evidence on Thucydides' readership from the Classical and the Hellenistic period. It includes a thorough and up-to-date synoptic introduction and extensive bibliography, setting each chapter in the context of broader scholarship from XIXth century onwards. With this book, readers shall receive a survey of manifold aspects of Thucydides in particular, and of historical writing in the Hellenistic age in general.

THE fame of the excavations at Verulamium, by St. Albans, has been widespread. They were visited by many thousands, and accounts were constantly disseminated by the lay Press, as well as by technical journals. Dr. and Mrs. Wheeler have done more than anyone else to create a great and genuine popular interest in the archaeology of Great Britain. They have proved once and for all that English people do not need the enchantment of Egyptian or Mesopotamian distance to stimulate their enthusiasm for the unearthing of the past. Under the care of the Office of Works, and, in the case of the theatre, through the generosity of Lord Verulam, the remains of important buildings on the site are now permanently open to view, and the enlightened action of the St. Albans Corporation in initiating the whole enterprise will doubtless be maintained and extended in the future. The success of the work has been a fine example of co-operation between local and national authorities, private owners, archaeologists, volunteer students, and the general public. Now the official report, worthily published by the Society of Antiquaries, is before us as the abiding record of the whole four years' campaign. It is no less an abiding reminder of the irreparable loss that we have sustained a few months since in Mrs. Wheeler's grievously premature death.

47 neugefundene Briefe von Theodor Mommsen waren der Anstoß, sie mit den Gegenbriefen des Archäologen Wolfgang Helbig aus der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin in dieser Gesamtausgabe zu vereinigen. 28 Briefe Mommsens aus der Gelehrtenkorrespondenz des Archäologischen Instituts Rom, wo Helbig über 20 Jahre Zweiter Sekretär war, kamen hinzu. Dieses bisher unveröffentlichte Material von insgesamt 176 Briefen gewährt einen fesselnden Einblick in das wissenschaftliche Leben einer Zeit, in der Deutschland auf dem Gebiet der Altertumswissenschaft in der Welt führend war. Dabei entstehen die Charakterbilder zweier Vertreter ihrer Fächer, der Archäologie und der Alten Geschichte, was sie verband und was sie trennte. Die nahezu 1000 Anmerkungen vermitteln ein umfassendes Bild der damaligen Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft, in der die beiden mächtigen, aber höchst eigenwilligen Persönlichkeiten mit Entschiedenheit und Diplomatie über Jahrzehnte agierten. Nicht zuletzt wird man Zeuge dessen, wie mit dem aufkommenden Nationalismus auf beiden Seiten die ehemalige Internationalität der Forschung in die Brüche ging.
