Book Overview
C. Crispus Sallustius Quae Supersunt presents the surviving works of Caius Sallustius Crispus, commonly known as Sallust, a distinguished Roman historian and politician. This collection offers invaluable insights into the political and social dynamics of the late Roman Republic. Sallust's narratives are characterized by their sharp analysis, moral reflections, and vivid depictions of key historical events.
Included in this volume are Sallust's two major surviving works: "The Conspiracy of Catiline" (Bellum Catilinae), which details the infamous plot against the Roman Republic, and "The Jugurthine War" (Bellum Jugurthinum), chronicling Rome's conflict with King Jugurtha of Numidia. Sallust's historical accounts are not merely records of events but also penetrating studies of character and the corrupting influence of power. This edition provides essential reading for students and scholars of Roman history, Latin literature, and classical political thought, offering a window into a pivotal era of Western civilization.
