"The History of Rome, Book IV" by Theodor Mommsen is a recounting of the dramatic Revolution period in Rome, exploring the major shifts and political challenges that marked the time of the Gracchi brothers, internal reforms, and external conflict. The story begins by showing the challenges faced by countries ruled by Rome, pointing out the problems of ruling, conflicts and the resistance in places like Spain, showing the interactions with people such as the Lusitanians and Celtiberians.
