Summary: "Römische Geschichte — Buch 5" by Theodor Mommsen is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This volume focuses on the foundation of the military monarchy in ancient Rome, exploring the political dynamics and significant figures involved in this tumultuous period following the death of Sulla. The narrative delves into the complex opposition to Sulla's restored oligarchy, portraying various factions that sought to challenge the established order. The opening of the book sets the stage for the political unrest in Rome after Sulla's demise. It introduces key players, including Marcus Lepidus and Quintus Sertorius, and highlights the fragmented nature of the opposing forces, which ranged from legal scholars to radical populists. As tensions rise, the text outlines the precarious balance of power and the emergence of influential figures such as Gnaeus Pompeius and Marcus Crassus, both of whom navigate the volatile political landscape. Sertorius, in particular, is depicted as a formidable leader rallying support from discontented factions in Spain, foreshadowing the impending conflicts that shape the future of the Roman state.
