C. Sallusti Crispi De Bello Catilinario Et Jugurthino

by Sallust

Two short histories: Catiline’s plot to seize Rome in 63 BC, and the war against the Numidian king Jugurtha, who called Rome a city for sale. Sallust, a politician who retired under a cloud, writes about corruption like a man who knew it well. This school edition has notes by Leonhard Schmitz.
