Sallust's Conspiracy of Catiline and the Jugurthine War
Sallust's Conspiracy of Catiline and the Jugurthine War is a compilation of two seminal texts by the Roman historian Gaius Sallustius Crispus. The first part, 'Conspiracy of Catiline,' delves into the failed conspiracy led by Lucius Sergius Catilina to overthrow the Roman Republic. The second part, 'Jugurthine War,' chronicles the Roman campaign against Jugurtha, king of Numidia. Both works are renowned for their vivid portrayal of political intrigue and military conflict in the late Roman Republic. more
