The War With Catiline. The War With Jugurtha

Deal with the moral and political decline of Rome, one on the conspiracy of Catiline and the other on the war with Jugurtha.

Summary

Sallust's two extant monographs take as their theme the moral and political decline of Rome, one on the conspiracy of Catiline and the other on the war with Jugurtha. Although Sallust is decidedly unsubtle and partisan in analyzing people and events, his works are important and significantly influenced later historians, notably Tacitus.
