Caii Crispi Sallustii Jugurtha

By Gaius Sallustius Crispus

Caii Crispi Sallustii Jugurtha, by Gaius Sallustius Crispus (Sallust), is a historical account focusing on the Jugurthine War, a significant conflict between Rome and Jugurtha, the king of Numidia, from 112 to 106 BC. Sallust's work is admired for its detailed examination of the political and social issues within the Roman Republic that contributed to the war, and for its portrayal of the key figures involved. This edition offers readers an opportunity to engage with a foundational text in Roman history and Latin literature.

Sallust's narrative delves into the corruption and ambition that plagued the Roman aristocracy, providing valuable insights into the decline of republican values. "Jugurtha" remains a vital resource for understanding the complexities of Roman expansion and the challenges faced by the Republic. Readers interested in ancient history, classical literature, and political theory will find this a compelling and informative work.
