Summary | "The History of Rome, Book V" by Theodor Mommsen is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This volume covers a pivotal era in Roman history, specifically focusing on the establishment of the military monarchy following the death of Sulla. It likely delves into the political, social, and military dynamics of the time, exploring the struggles between various factions, including the oligarchy, populists, and military leaders. At the start of the volume, the narrative outlines the political landscape after Sulla's death, depicting an oligarchy that maintains power through force while facing numerous and diverse opposition groups united under the popular party. These factions are characterized by their varied motives, from legal reformists to radical democrats looking to restore lost rights. Mommsen introduces key figures, such as Lepidus and Sertorius, and highlights the internal conflicts that lead to civil unrest. The text sets the stage for an exploration of the intricacies of Roman political life during this tumultuous period, focusing on the alliance and rivalry between military leaders and politicians.
