This is a critical study of the system of law and order in ancient Rome in both Republican and Imperial periods. Wilfried Nippel identifies the mechanisms of self-regulation which operated as a stabilising force within Roman society, and considers the issue of the absence of a professional police force in the city of Rome, before and after the collapse of the Republic.
