    They are a first spanish edition of "Römische Geschichte" or "History of Rome" by Theodor Mommsen, originally published by Reimer & Hirsel, Leipzig, as three volumes during 1854-1856.
    "Still read and qualifiedly cited, it is the prolific Mommsen's most well-known work. The work was specifically cited when Mommsen was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1902. (He is one of the very few non-fiction writers to receive the Nobel prize in literature.)" - Wikipedia

    Originaly 9 volumes, these were bound in 5 volumes hardcover, and they have a very good condition.

    My sister convinced me to buy them and they became in my oldest and most valuable books.

    Thanks for looking!
