Dans ce traité, Plutarque examine, à travers des perspectives anthropologiques et culturelles, des aspects fascinants de la vie et des institutions de la Rome antique. Le texte grec, établi à partir de tous les manuscrits conservés, s’accompagne d’un appareil critique qui corrige de nombreuses erreurs des éditions antérieures, ainsi que d’un autre apparat, très utile et complet, de loci paralleli. En outre, le caractère énigmatique de ces 113 questions sans contexte est expliqué comme représentant une promenade à travers le centre de Rome, pendant laquelle les monuments rencontrés déclenchent des questions.
