Description
Catiline: A Study in Ambition and Rebellion
This book provides an energetic and appealing overview of the events surrounding L. Sergius Catilina, a Roman leader who sought to overthrow the constitution imposed by Sulla in the mid-1st century BC.
Accessible for students and useful for more experienced scholars alike, this introduction explores the controversy that still surrounds Catiline's rebellion, as well as the arguments of modern historians looking back at this period. The book sheds light on the personalities involved, the sources used to understand the episode, and the problems of tackling ancient sources as evidence.
