Description
Sallust's Bellum Catilinae is a gripping account of a pivotal moment in Roman history. In 63 B.C., a disgruntled nobleman named Sergius Catilina turned to armed revolution after two electoral defeats, sparking a dramatic chain of events.
Written by C. Sallustius Crispus in an archaizing style, this work skillfully captures the drama and emotion of the time, including a tense senatorial debate between Julius Caesar and Cato the Younger over the fate of arrested conspirators. This edition features Ramsey's introduction and commentary, bringing the text to life for Latin students.
This new edition includes updated maps, city plans, and a bibliography, making it an ideal choice for second-year or advanced Latin study, as well as those interested in late-Republican government and historiography.
