#12 – Litterae Latinae | Catilina coniuratos hortatur (Sallustius, Cat. 20)
One of the most striking aspects of Sallust’s writing is his ability to
compose speeches that capture the idea and persona of the speaker. I am not
alone in my appreciation of his written oratory, as many a humanist student
during the 16th century would have to commit to memory entire speeches
taken from Sallust’s works. Now, listen to the Latin audio of Sallust’s
take on Catiline’s speech where he addresses his co-conspirators in the
conspiracy whichCicero famously put an end to.
