The Conspiracy of Catiline and The Jugurthine War
This book is a combination of three works by a Roman historian and politician, focusing on the political and military events of the late Roman Republic. It first covers the conspiracy led by Catiline in 63 BC, then shifts to the war against Jugurtha in North Africa, and finally provides a fragmentary history of Rome from 78-67 BC. The author uses these events to critique the moral decay of Rome, highlighting the corruption, greed, and ambition that he believed led to the fall of the Republic.
