These works cover a range of topics, including the decline of Roman morality, the nature of political power, and the role of the individual in history.Overall, Sallust (1830) is a comprehensive collection of Sallust's works, providing readers with a valuable insight into the political and social conditions of the late Roman Republic, as well as the mind and methods of one of its most important historians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
