Abstract: The goal of this study is to analyze Roman institutions, allowing readers to make a clear distinction between the history of institutions as we know it from ancient sources, and the history of institutions as it is treated in modern scholarship. The first part of the work offers an overview of the Roman institutions in the last centuries of the Republic, and then an analysis of the reliability of the ancient sources for the history of these institutions since the founding of Rome. Attention is also given to institutions during the transition from Republic to Empire. Finally, the numerous problems posed by modern interpretations and theories are discussed.
