Conspiracy of Catiline
"Conspiracy of Catiline" is an incredible history by the renowned Roman historian Sallust. It presents a concise account of the attempted overthrow of the government by the aristocrat Catiline in 63 BC in the Catilinarian conspiracy. Sallust continually critiqued Roman corruption throughout this work.
The Histories
Sallust (86-35 BC) was a historian of major importance, writing at the time of the late Roman Republic. This is the first full-length commentary and English translation of one of his major works, the Histories, covering the years 78-67 BC--one of the most poorly documented periods of the era. The translation is based on a fresh examination of the text and also includes newly-discovered material with a bearing on the interpretation of the text.
History of Catiline's Conspiracy
This book, written by Sallust revolves around the Catilinarian conspiracy, which was an attempted coup d'état by Lucius Sergius Catiline to overthrow the consuls of 63 BC – Marcus Tullius Cicero and Gaius Antonius Hybrida – and forcibly assume control of the state in their stead. The conspiracy was formed after Catiline's defeat in the consular elections for 62 BC. He assembled a coalition of malcontents – aristocrats who had been denied political advancement by the voters, dispossessed farmers, and indebted Sullan veterans – and planned to seize the consulship from Cicero and Antonius by force. Cicero later exposed the conspiracy and Catiline fled from Rome to join his army in Etruria. The next month, Cicero uncovered nine more conspirators organizing for Catiline in the city and, on advice of the senate, had them executed without trial.

The War with Catiline
"Sallust, Gaius Sallustius Crispus (86-35 BCE), a Sabine from Amiternum, acted against Cicero and Milo as tribune in 52, joined Caesar after being expelled from the Senate in 50, was restored to the senate by Caesar and took part in his African campaign as praetor in 46, and was then appointed governor of New Africa (Numidia). Upon his return to Rome he narrowly escaped conviction for malfeasance in office, retired from public life, and took up historiography. Sallust's two extant monographs take as their theme the moral and political decline of Rome, one on the conspiracy of Catiline and the other on the war with Jugurtha. Although Sallust is decidedly unsubtle and partisan in analyzing people and events, his works are important and significantly influenced later historians, notably Tacitus. Taking Thucydides as his model but building on Roman stylistic and rhetorical traditions, Sallust achieved a distinctive style, concentrated and arresting; lively characterizations, especially in the speeches; and skill at using particular episodes to illustrate large general themes."_Solapa ant.
