C. Sallusti Crispi's 'Catilina' and 'Iugurtha' are seminal works of Latin literature, offering profound insights into the political and moral landscape of the late Roman Republic. Sallust's narratives explore the conspiracies of Catiline and the war against Jugurtha, providing vivid character studies and incisive analyses of the corruption and ambition that threatened the foundations of Roman society.
This edition, edited by Paul Krueger, presents the original Latin text, allowing readers to engage directly with Sallust's powerful prose. 'Catilina' details the conspiracy led by Catiline to overthrow the Roman government, while 'Iugurtha' recounts the war against the Numidian king Jugurtha and exposes the venality within the Roman aristocracy. These works remain essential reading for students of Latin and anyone interested in the history of Rome.
