More about the book
Voltaire’s play offers a dramatized portrayal of historical figures like Cicero, Catiline, Cato, and Cæsar, emphasizing their character and virtues rather than adhering to factual events. It captures the essence of Roman society during Catiline's conspiracy, highlighting themes of courage, virtue, and the duality of Catiline's fierce yet deceitful nature. Cæsar emerges as a complex character, embodying both ambition and bravery, destined to shape Rome's fate. The work serves as a reflection on the moral and social dynamics of the era rather than a strict historical account.
