This volume of The History of Rome by the Nobel Prize winning classical historian Theodor Mommsen (1817-1903) covers the period from the death of Sulla to the subjugation of the West. This monumental work became the enduring rival of Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

A full and detailed transcript of Mommsen's famous lectures - made by two of his students - has been edited to provide an authoritative reconstruction which includes detailed notes and references.

Mommsen's influential study (1871-1888) is a systematic treatment of the workings of the Roman state. The renowned German scholar proposed an original and sometimes controversial understanding of Roman institutions, based around the categories of nineteenth-century constitutional law. This volume focuses on the Principate and the imperial household.
