Abstract

In six decades of activity, between 1927 and 1987, Arnaldo Dante Momigliano (1908- 1987) published more than seven hundred articles and reviews, which form the body of his work. Due to his option for studies of limited extension, presented in the form of articles and conferences, his work possesses a dispersed character, what makes a clear visualization of its totality difficult. Although compiled in the nine volumes of the Contributi published along the historian\'s life (and after his death), such compilation is problematic. The present research proposes to trace a map of Momiglianos work and a discussion and contextualization of this work, centered in the main focuses of his production, with emphasis in the subjects of the history of the historiography and the peace and liberty in the ancient world.
