Publisher's Synopsis
The Catiline and Jugurthine Wars of Sallust: Together with the Four Orations of Cicero Against Catiline is a historical book written by Sallust, a Roman historian and politician, in 1841. The book covers two important wars in Roman history - the Catiline War and the Jugurthine War. The Catiline War was a political and military conflict that took place in 63 BC between the Roman Republic and a group of conspirators led by Catiline, who sought to overthrow the government. The Jugurthine War, on the other hand, was a military conflict that took place between Rome and the Numidian king Jugurtha in the late 2nd century BC.In addition to the historical accounts of these wars, the book also includes four speeches delivered by Cicero, a famous Roman orator and politician, against Catiline. These speeches are considered some of the greatest examples of Roman oratory and provide insight into the political and social climate of the time.Overall, The Catiline and Jugurthine Wars of Sallust: Together with the Four Orations of Cicero Against Catiline is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Roman history, politics, and oratory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
