The Conspiracy of Catiline
The Conspiracy of Catiline Latin: De coniuratione Catilinae, also asked as The War of Catiline , is the number one history published by a Roman historian Sallust. the second historical monograph in Latin literature, it chronicles the attempted overthrow of the government by the bankrupt aristocrat Catiline in 63 BC in what has been ordinarily called the Catiline conspiracy or Second Catilinarian conspiracy.
The Conspiracy of Cataline became a symbolic explanation of the moral and social decadence of the ruling Roman classes, particularly the Roman Senate, during the 1st century AD. Sallust continually critiques Roman corruption throughout his narration.
