Upon his return to Rome he narrowly escaped conviction for malfeasance in office, retired from public life, and took up historiography. Sallust's two extant monographs take as their theme the moral and political decline of Rome, one on the conspiracy of Catiline and the other on the war with Jugurtha. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough Sallust is decidedly unsubtle and partisan in analyzing people and events, his works are important and significantly influenced later historians, notably Tacitus. Taking Thucydides as his model but building on Roman stylistic and rhetorical traditions, Sallust achieved a distinctive style, concentrated and arresting; lively characterizations, especially in the speeches; and skill at using particular episodes to illustrate large general themes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor this edition, Rolfe's text and translation of the \u003ci\u003eCatiline \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eJugurtha \u003c\/i\u003ehave been thoroughly revised in line with the most recent scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sallust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674996844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674996847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.59h x 4.51w x 1.14d","brand":"Sallust","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45264996925695,"sku":"9780674996847","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b9be0d1-d001-46e2-bb64-ffd429538a00.jpg?v=1713419852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-war-with-catiline-the-sallust-9780674996847","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
