Overview

An English translation of Sallust's Bellum Catilinae with parallel Latin text and more than 700 annotations to grammatical points. The particulars of the of the Catilinarian Conspiracy against the Roman republic in 63 B.C., the character, the veracity of the sources, or the historians who wrote about the affair, including that of Sallust, ought not be a matter of first concern for the student of this period in Roman history. The most important thing for the student to do is to read the text of Sallust's Bellum Catilinae in Latin for oneself. This cannot be over emphasized, for it is foundational. And what is flawed at it's base, will be flawed in its superstructure. It's important to start with an excellent base, Sallust's Bellum Catilinae makes an optimal choice. Edward H. Campbell is a grammarian and a self-styled philologus of both the Greek and the Latin languages. He lives in Colorado. This is his third book.
