«Romulus der Große» is the historical comedy in four acts by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, published by Diogenes Verlag AG in paperback (176 pages, in German).
The action takes place in the last days of the Roman Empire: while Pavia falls to the Germanic warriors, Emperor Romulus Augustulus shows indifference to the disaster. With irony and black humour, Dürrenmatt turns Rome's decline into a satire on power, responsibility and the inevitability of fate.
Subtitled «Ungeschichtliche historische Komödie in vier Akten» (Neufassung 1980), it is part of Dürrenmatt's Werkausgabe, volume 2.
For students of German literature and theatre enthusiasts, especially those looking for a satirical comedy with historical background.
