More about the book

One of the great Roman historians, Sallust wrote a number of works chronicling the tumultuous events of the late Republic. This volume brings together two of his most famous works, the Conspiracy of Catiline and the War With Jugurtha. In vivid and powerful prose, Sallust offers a damning indictment of the corruption and excess of the Roman ruling class, and a poignant reflection on the tragic fate of a once-great civilization.
