Abstract
Comparisons between the Roman Empire and the British Empire were popular in the nineteenth century. Among the major assessments are those by James Bryce, Lord Cromer, and Sir Charles Lucas, but many other writers also attempted to make the comparison. The chapter asks who made these comparisons and why, and it explores the socio-political contexts of these comparisons. The chapter also explores what writers in India (e.g. Gandhi, Nehru) made of the comparisons between the Roman and British Empires.
