#32 – Sallust on the death of Catiline | Latin texts 8

Sallust is by far my favourite Roman historian. No other is able to combine

nostalgia, moral judgement, and an engaging narrative style in such a

powerful manner. The passage you’ll listen to now is taken from Sallust’s

Bellum Catilinae. In the recording you can listen to the Latin text

describing the demise of Catiline, the arch-nemesis of Cicero.
