简介：　　"The Conspiracy of Catiline" (his first published work)contains the history of the memorable year 63. Sallust adopts theusually accepted view of Catiline, and describes him as thedeliberate foe of law, order and morality, and does not give acomprehensive explanation of his views and intentions. Catiline hadsupported the party of Sulla, to which Sallust was opposed.Sallust's "Jugurthine War" is a valuable and interesting monograph.We may assume that Sallust collected materials and put togethernotes for it during his governorship of Numidia. Here, too, hedwells upon the feebleness of the senate and aristocracy.
