Author Description

The all consuming fires of the Republic rage around Sallust at the time of writing. Fires light by Sulla, maturing to their zenith under Caeser, and turning to coals under Augustus, the Roman Republic is at the precipice. The once illustrious offices of Rome have slowly been subverted, generation after generation, by personal ambition. For the Roman Republic, the end is near. This is the War with Catiline and the War with Jugurtha. The Rolfe translation stands as the most readable and true to the narrative expression of the fragments of this work that have been passed down through out the ages. The text has been updated to current formatting, using footnote, and current scholarship. This paperback edition includes: An Invective against Catiline, The War with Catiline, an invective against Cicero, and invective against Sallust, the War with Jugurtha, and letters attributed to Sallust written to Caesar.
