Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sallust´s Conspiracy of Catiline and the Jugurthine War: Literally Translated, With Explanatory Notes Sallustius Crispus, commonly known as Sallust, was born at Amiternum, a town in the Sabine territory, about the year 87 B.C. His father, Caius Sallustius, is thought by some to have been a patrician. The better authorities, however, contend that he was a plebeian, and advance in support of their belief the facts that Sallust himself held the office of tribune of the people, and that in his writings are found comments not favorable to the aristocracy. At an early age Sallust removed to Rome and studied under Philogus, a celebrated grammarian of that period, who subsequently became the tutor of the distinguished Asinius Pollio. He speedily developed a taste for the study of history and devoted himself to that pursuit with great assiduity, though not to the exclusion of indulgence in pleasure, if we are to judge from the observations of his critics. He also took an active interest in politics. He is said not to have adopted the usual methods for securing for himself political power and influence, viz., by pleading the causes of persons accused of crimes, inasmuch as no orations of his have come down to us.
