Description

Discover the gripping history of ancient Rome with Sallust's Catiline's Conspiracy, The Jugurthine War, Histories, a collection of works that paint a vivid portrait of the moral and political degeneration of the Roman Republic.

Written in a distinctive and urgent style, Sallust's works offer a sharp-edged critique of the Roman elite, revealing the darker aspects of their power struggles and brutal conflicts. This edition includes the fragmentary Histories, which sheds light on the unprecedented nature of the rebellion led by the depraved Catiline.

With a comprehensive introduction, notes, and maps, this Oxford World's Classics edition provides a wealth of information for readers looking to understand the historical context and literary significance of Sallust's works. Batstone's translation brings the severity of Sallust's Latin style to life, making this a valuable resource for scholars and history enthusiasts alike.
