MARQUARDT, See also:JOACHIM (1812–1882) , See also:German historian and writer on See also:Roman antiquities, was See also:born at See also:Danzig on the 19th of See also:April 1812. He studied at See also:Berlin and See also:Leipzig, held various educational appointments from 1833 onwards at Berlin, Danzig and See also:Posen, and became in 1859 See also:head of the gymnasium in See also:Gotha, where he died on the 3oth of See also:November 1882. The See also:dedication of his See also:treatise Historiae equitum romanorum libri quatuor (1841) to See also:Lachmann led to his being recommended to the publisher of W. A. See also:Becker's Handbuch der romischen Alterthumer to continue the See also:work on the See also:death of the author in 1846. It took twenty years to See also:complete, and met with such success that a new edition was soon called for. Finding himself unequal to the task single-handed, Marquardt See also:left the preparation of the first three volumes (Romisches Staatsrecht) to Theodor See also:Mommsen, while he himself contributed vols. iv.–vi. (ROmische Staatsverwaltung, 1873–1878; 2nd ed., 1881-1885, vol. v. by H. See also:Dessau and A. von Domaszewski, vol. vi. by G. Wissowa) and vol. vii.(DasPrivatleben der Romer, 1879–1882; 2nd ed., by A. Mau, 1886). Its clearness of See also:style, systematic arrangement and abundant references to authorities See also:ancient and See also:modern, will always render it valuable to the student.
