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.
