PDF File I By right all human beings, who are eager to show that they stand out ahead of all the other animals, should make their very best effort to avoid passing their lives in silence like the herd animals that nature has shaped in such a way that they grovel in subservience to their appetites. sed nostra omnis uis in animo et corpore sita est: animi imperio, corporis seruitio magis utimur; alterum nobis cum dis, alterum cum beluis commune est. All of our effectiveness derives from mind and body: we make more use of the governing direction that comes from the mind and of the service that the body can provide. The former we share with the gods; the latter with the beasts. That is why it seems to me better for us to seek glory using our native intelligence rather than our physical strength, and since the life we enjoy is itself brief, to stretch out for as long as possible people's remembrance of us. nam diuitiarum et formae gloria fluxa atque fragilis est, uirtus clara aeternaque habetur.

Extractions: Sallust, Bellum Catilinae The two assigned excerpts are the most famous parts of the BC , the preface and the debate between Caesar and Cato on the punishment of the conspirators. For another part of this debate, look at Cicero, In Catilinam Even though there is (probably) only a gap of nine years (51-42 BCE) between De re publica and BC , the two texts are worlds apart, separated by civil war, the assassination of Julius Caesar, and the beginnings of the Second Triumvirate (November 43) and the proscriptions. Sallust's ethical ideas and his ideal of the Roman Republic do not seem very far from Cicero's, but the language in which he expresses them are very different: Sallust is in many respects an anti-Ciceronian, and many people have thought (perhaps rightly) that his choice of subjectthe depiction of the most famous event in Cicero's career with so little emphasis on Cicerois not without point. In reading Sallust, you should consider not only his style but his choice of form and topic. How is this work different from earlier Roman historiography? What is his relationship to his stylistic model (at least one of them), Cato? To Thucydides? What reasons does he give in the preface for undertaking this workand how is it similar to, or different from, Cicero's in De oratore ? What are his views of the causes of Decline and its consequences and possible remedies? (For this, look not only at the preface, but at the comparison of Caesar and Cato at the end of the debate.) And why is the conspiracy of Catiline so significant?

Sallust was opposed to Milo and to Pompey 's party and to the old aristocracy of Rome. From the first he was a decided partisan of Caesar , to whom he owed such political advancement as he attained. In he was removed from the senate by the censor Appius Claudius Pulcher on the ground of gross immorality, the real reason probably being his friendship for Caesar. In the following year, no doubt through Caesar's influence, he was reinstated and appointed quaestor In he was praetor , and accompanied Caesar in his African campaign, which ended in the decisive defeat of the remains of the Pompeian party at Thapsus . As a reward for his services, Sallust was appointed governor of the province of Numidia . In this capacity he was guilty of such oppression and extortion that only the influence of Caesar enabled him to escape condemnation. On his return to Rome he purchased and laid out in great splendour the famous gardens on the Quirinal known as the Horti Sallustiani He now retired from public life and devoted himself to historical literature.

Extractions: Sallust was a well-known Roman historian and politician, a friend of Julius Caesar who made him governor of Numdia in North Africa. Sallust made a fortune there, then he returned to Rome where he became a writer of history. Sallust concentrated in his writings on the critical stages in the decline of the Roman republic. He treated history as more than just a chronicle of events; he stated the reasons for each event. Major works are: 'The Jugurthine War', and 'The Cataline conspiracy'.

Sallust's family probably belonged to the local aristocracy, but he was the only member known to have served in the Roman Senate. Thus he embarked on a political career as a novus homo ("new man"); that is, he was not born into the ruling class, which was an accident that influenced both the content and tone of his historical judgments. Nothing is known of his early career, but he probably gained some military experience, perhaps in the east in the years from 70 to 60 BC. His first political office, which he held in 52, was that of a tribune of the plebs. The office, designed originally to represent the lower classes, by Sallust's time had developed into one of the most powerful magistracies. The evidence that Sallust held a quaestorship, an administrative office in finance, sometimes dated about 55, is unreliable. Because of electoral disturbances in 53, there were no regular government officials other than the tribunes, and the next year opened in violence that led to the murder of Clodius, a notorious demagogue and candidate for the praetorship (a magistracy ranking below that of consul), by a gang led by Milo. The latter was a candidate for consul. In the trial that followed

Extractions: ISBN 978-0-86516-687-5 Click to Order Sallust is a uniquely accessible author among Roman historians because he uses standard vocabulary and uncomplicated syntax. Unlike other Roman historians whose subject matter was a distant past, Sallust writes about events that occurred in his lifetime. His roller-coaster career afforded him the vantage point of an outsider from which to critique the inner mechanisms of contemporary Roman politics. Selections include character sketches, conspiracy and its betrayal, ethnography, a political speech, and a description of a lavish banquet. This Reader gives attention to Sallust’s distinctive style, but also places emphasis on general structures to nurture comprehension and appreciation of Latin prose as a distinct—and majestic—art form in its own right.

http://pages.uoregon.edu/klio/wc/source2/sallust.htm

Extractions: Sallust, The Conspiracy of Catiline Sallust was a Roman senator and contemporary of Caesar and of Cicero (late first century BC). He was born into a well to do, though not aristocratic, Italian family residing some 100 miles north of Rome. He was wealthy enough to afford a political career in the capital and advanced though lower offices as political dependent of Julius Caesar eventually reaching the rank of praetor (just below that of consul). For reasons that are not entirely clear, he was expelled from the Roman Senate went into retirement and began to write history. The passage here is the introduction to a monograph on a failed coup d'etat of the year 61. In its Sallust gives his views on human nature and the dynamics of Roman success and failure as a constitutional system. But, assuredly, Fortune rules in all things. She makes everything famous or obscure rather from caprice than in conformity with truth. The exploits of the Athenians, as far as I can judge, were very great and glorious, yet something inferior to what fame has represented them. But because writers of great talent flourished there, the actions of the Athenians are celebrated over the world as the most splendid of achievements. Thus, the merit of those who have acted is estimated at the highest point to which illustrious intellects could exalt it in their writings. But among the Romans there was never any such abundance of writers; for, with them, the most able men were the most actively employed. No one exercised the mind independently of the body; every man of ability chose to act rather than narrate, and was more desirous that his own merits should be celebrated by others, than that he himself should record theirs.
