War with Catiline. War with Jugurtha. Selections from the Histories. Doubtful Works

Sallust

Translated by J. C. Rolfe

    Though biased, Sallust's extant work is valuable. It shows lively characterisation (in speeches after Thucydides' manner) and attempts to explain the meaning of events. The work on Catiline has been called a study in social pathology. Sallust's style anticipates that of the early Empire.
