Focusing on moral decay and political discord, Sallust's works offer a scholarly perspective on significant events and figures of his time. His "Jugurthine War" chronicles the Roman victory in Numidia while critiquing the corruption of Roman ideals. In "Catiline's Conspiracy," he explores the threats posed by Catiline and his followers, reflecting his deep concern for Rome's decline. The collection also features fragments from Sallust's "Histories," showcasing his compact and substantive writing style, which has garnered respect from later thinkers like Nietzsche.
