Excerpt from Catiline, Clodius, and Tiberius
Of all the characters in history Catiline has been painted blackest. He is to the historians what Judas Iscariot is to the divines. The name itself has a wicked sound to us The very syllables of it seem to connote a monstrous depravity. We cannot hear it but there rings in our ears a confused hurtle of ineendia, coedes, latrocininni, audacia, furor, seelus, parri eida, sicarius, and other choice missiles from the Ciceronian armoury. We think of him not as a man, but as a demon breathing murder, rapine, and confla gration, with bloodshot eyes and pallid face, luring on Weak and depraved young men to the damnation pre pared for himself a horrid portent rising from below, without visible cause or warning, like some earth quake or volcano, to scorch the fair face of civilisa tion and convert order into chaos.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fresh perspective on the life and legacy of Lucius Sergius Catiline, a Roman politician often portrayed as a villainous conspirator. The author challenges the conventional view of Catiline as a ruthless and ambitious power-hungry figure, arguing instead that he was a leader of the popular party who sought to overthrow the corrupt Roman oligarchy. Through a close examination of historical sources and analysis of the political climate of the late Roman Republic, the book sheds light on the complex social, economic, and political forces that led to the Catilinarian Conspiracy. It delves into the often overlooked grievances of the Roman populace, their discontent with the ruling class, and the rise of populist movements that sought to challenge the established order. The book presents a nuanced portrayal of Catiline, exploring his character, motivations, and place within the larger context of Roman history. It reveals the intricate machinations of the political elite, their manipulation of public opinion, and the use of rhetoric and propaganda to shape perceptions of their opponents. By offering a revised interpretation of Catiline's life and actions, the book compels readers to re-examine the historical narratives that have long defined the Roman Republic.
