Sallust opposed Milo, Pompey 's party and the old aristocracy of Rome. From the beginning of his public career, Sallust operated as a decided partisan of Caesar , to whom he owed such political advancement as he attained. In the censor Appius Claudius Pulcher removed him from the Senate on the grounds of gross immorality (probably really because of his friendship for Caesar). In the following year, no doubt through Caesar's influence, he was reinstated and appointed quaestor In he served as a praetor and accompanied Caesar in his African campaign , which ended in the decisive defeat of the remains of the Pompeian war party at Thapsus . As a reward for his services, Sallust gained appointment as governor of the province of

SALLUST
86 - 34 BC
Roman Historian
Sallust was a well-known Roman historian and politician, a friend of Julius Caesar who made him governor of Numdia in North Africa. Sallust made a fortune there, then he returned to Rome where he became a writer of history. Sallust concentrated in his writings on the critical stages in the decline of the Roman republic. He treated history as more than just a chronicle of events; he stated the reasons for each event. Major works are: 'The Jugurthine War', and 'The Cataline conspiracy'.

SALLUST'S REPUBLIC: THE CONSPIRACY OF CATILINE A glance at the late Roman Republic by Howard Sauertieg Submitted in partial fulfillment of the B.A. requirement of St. John's College, Santa Fe, February 11, 1996; lightly revised November 1997 I. Introductory to "Sallust's Republic" The subject of this essay is Sallust's "Conspiracy of Catiline" an elusive and often unsettling historical narrative. Sallust's narrative paints the late Roman Republic in bold colors, emphasizing the social and political ills which allowed a handful of discontented citizens to consider the violent overthrow of Rome's government an honorable aim, and a prospect well within their means. Through a careful consideration of Sallust's concerns, we hope to attain a distinct conception of his era, as well as a reasoned interpretation of the message Sallust offers to his readers. To assist the specific investigation into Catiline's conspiracy, we shall also utilize a small portion of Cicero's fourth published oration "Against Catilina," for Cicero, as consul in 63 BC, was a major player in the affair. In their first delivery from the mouth of Cicero, the persuasive force of his speeches worked to turn the Senate and people of Rome against the conspirators. Today, the Catiline orations serve as a primary source for our understanding of the conspiracy's mechanics. II. Introductory to "The Conspiracy of Catiline"

V. VI.-IX. X.-XIII. ... LXI. It becomes all men, who desire to excel other animals, to strive, to the utmost of their power, not to pass through life in obscurity, like the beasts of the field, which nature has formed groveling and subservient to appetite. All our power is situate in the mind and in the body. Of the mind we rather employ the government; of the body, the service. The one is common to us with the gods; the other with the brutes. It appears to me, therefore, more reasonable to pursue glory by means of the intellect than of bodily strength, and, since the life which we enjoy is short, to make the remembrance of us as lasting as possible. For the glory of wealth and beauty is fleeting and perishable; that of intellectual power is illustrious and immortal. Yet it was long a subject of dispute among mankind, whether military efforts were more advanced by strength of body, or by force of intellect. For, in affairs of war, it is necessary to plan before beginning to act, and, after planning, to act with promptitude and vigor. Thus, each being insufficient of itself, the one requires the assistance of the other.

I. II.
Of these pursuits, however, magistracies and military commands, or in fact any share in the public administration, seem to me at the present time far from desirable, since the honors of office are refused to merit, while those who attain them either by knavery or force gain nothing in security nor yet in distinction. III. To govern country or parents by force, even where such rule is possible, and is used for the correction of crime, is yet a grievous matter, especially when every revolution is the sure forerunner of massacres, banishments, and the other horrors of war. On the other hand, to labor without result, and seek no other reward for toil than unpopularity, is the height of madness, except, perhaps, for those who are mastered by a disgraceful and fatal impulse to sacrifice their own honor and freedom to the power of a clique.

The Texts
As almost always, I  am retyping the texts rather than scanning them: not only to minimize errors prior to proofing, but as an opportunity for me to become intimately familiar with them, an exercise which I heartily recommend. (Well-meaning attempts to get me to scan text, if successful, would merely turn me into some kind of machine: gambit declined.) In the table of contents below, the items I've completely proofed are shown on blue backgrounds ; any red backgrounds indicate that the proofreading is still incomplete. The header bar at the top of each webpage will remind you with the same color scheme. In either case of course, should you spot an error, please do report it.

to the Second Impression
The part of the Introduction dealing with the manuscripts has been re-written in the light of the new classification of Axel W. Ahlberg ( Prolegomena in Sallustium , G¶teborg, 1911), which was followed by him in his Teubner text (Leipzig, 1919) and, except in some minor details, by B. Ornstein in the Bud© Salluste (Paris, 1924); and the critical notes have been made to conform to that classification. Some changes have been made also in the section on the "pseudo-Sallustian" works, to which a good deal of attention has been devoted during the past decade

Ammianus, Theodosius and Sallust's Jugurtha
Robin Seager (University of Liverpool)
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to examine Ammianus' treatment of the elder Theodosius and to suggest the existence of certain parallels between his account of Theodosius' suppression of the rising of the Moorish chieftain Firmus (29.5) and an earlier North African war, that waged by Q. Metellus and C. Marius against the Numidian king Jugurtha, narrated in Sallust' s monograph. The tentative conclusion will be that a reading of Ammianus that keeps Sallust in mind corroborates a view that is, I believe, defensible in its own right, namely that Ammianus is by no means as uncritical of Theodosius as has sometimes been assumed. Writing under Theodosius' son, he could not of course risk open criticism. Indeed, his portrayal of Theodosius is overtly encomiastic. But, as I have tried to demonstrate elsewhere, Ammianus is capable of subverting even official encomium to produce an effect on his readers very different from that intended by official sources.

Ancient History Sourcebook:
Sallust (prob.86-35 BCE):
Life in Rome in the Late Republic, c. 63 BCE
[Davis Introduction]: Catiline's anarchistic conspiracy of 63 B.C. was, of course, only possible in a society in which there were a great number of depraved and desperate men, ready for any enterprise, however villainous. For such spirits Catiline was an ideal leader. In this quotation from Sallust we see how it became possible for him to find a large following, and what manner of man he was personally. Conspiracy of Catiline, chs. 11-16: After Sulla had recovered the government by force of arms, everybody became robbers and plunderers. Some set their hearts on houses, some on lands. His victorious troops knew no restraint, no moderation, but inflicted on the citizens disgraceful and inhumane outrages. The whole period was one of debauched tastes and lawlessness. When wealth was once counted an honor, and glory, authority, and power attended it, virtue lost her influence, poverty was thought a disgrace, and a life of innocence was regarded as a life of mere ill nature. From the influence of riches, accordingly, luxury, avarice, pride came to prevail among the youth. They grew at once rapacious and prodigal. They undervalued what was their own; they set at nought modesty and continence; they lost all distinction between sacred and profane, and threw off all consideration and self-restraint. It is a serious matter for reflection, after viewing our modern mansions and villas, extended to the veritable size of cities, to contemplate the temples which our ancestors a most devout race of men, erected to the gods. But our forefathers adorned the

    The Gardens of Sallust
    A Changing Landscape By Kim J. Hartswick Table of Contents and Excerpt "I know of no study quite like Kim Hartswick's treatment of the Horti Sallustiani, although I hope that it will soon stand as a model for other scholars.... The wealth of factual knowledge that has gone into this study is immense.... This is a marvelous piece of truly new scholarship." The Culture of the High Renaissance: Ancients and Moderns in Sixteenth-Century Rome "In several aspects this book will be a standard for the next decades." Bryn Mawr Classical Review Pleasure gardens, or horti , offered elite citizens of ancient Rome a retreat from the noise and grime of the city, where they could take their leisure and even conduct business amid lovely landscaping, architecture, and sculpture. One of the most important and beautiful of these gardens was the horti Sallustiani , originally developed by the Roman historian Sallust at the end of the first century B.C. and later possessed and perfected by a series of Roman emperors. Though now irrevocably altered by two millennia of human history, the Gardens of Sallust endure as a memory of beauty and as a significant archaeological site, where fragments of sculpture and ruins of architecture are still being discovered.

    Description
    In his Bellum Catilinae , C. Sallustius Crispus or Sallust (86-35/34 B.C.) recounts the dramatic events of 63 B.C., when a disgruntled and impoverished nobleman, L. Sergius Catilina, turned to armed revolution after two electoral defeats. Among his followers were a group of heavily indebted young aristocrats, the Roman poor, and a military force in the north of Italy. With his trademark archaizing style, Sallust skillfully captures the drama of the times, including an early morning attempt to assassinate the consul Cicero and two emotionally charged speeches, by Julius Caesar and Cato the Younger, in a senatorial debate over the fate of the arrested conspirators. Sallust wrote while the Roman Republic was being transformed into an empire during the turbulent first century B.C. The Bellum Catilinae is well-suited for second-year or advanced Latin study and provides a fitting introduction to the richness of Latin literature, while also pointing the way to a critical investigation of late-Republican government and historiography. Ramsey's introduction and commentary bring the text to life for Latin students. This new edition includes two maps and two city plans, an updated and now annotated bibliography, a list of divergences from the 1991 Oxford Classical Text of Sallust, and revisions in the introduction and commentary.
