Römisches Strafrecht was first published in 1899 & complements Mommsen's earlier, monumental study of Roman constitutional law. Applying the same historical method, he attributes the evolution of criminal law to the demise of the Roman Republic. The book, here reissued in two volumes, is divided into five main sections. The first discusses the nature of criminal law. Mommsen next looks at the institutions involved in administering criminal law, and the roles of different officials within them. He identifies three types of trial: trial by magistrate alone, trial by magistrate and comitia, and trial by jury, and describes their stages from the courtroom process to the pronouncement of sentence. Sections 4 and 5, in the second volume, consider particular crimes, from treason or murder to heresy, rape and theft, and explain the possibilities for appeal and the different categories of sentences.

Theodor Mommsen's influential multi-volume work, first published between 1871 & 1888, is a systematic treatment of the intricate workings of the Roman state. The renowned scholar proposed an original & sometimes controversial understanding of Roman institutions, based around the categories of 19th century constitutional law. The Romans themselves never actually codified their complicated body of law, but by applying a historical approach to describe the development of Roman law Mommsen succeeds in making it more accessible to the reader. He systematises the many diverse legal elements upon which the Roman constitution was based & offers a coherent reading of it. In Volume 3, Part 1 Mommsen gives a detailed account of the various economic & social categories of Roman citizens & subjects, including senators, patricians, plebs, freed slaves, & non-Roman inhabitants of the empire.
