	The First Oration Against Catiline, Cicero
		Catiline, who knew this law to be aimed chiefly at him, formed a design to murder Cicero and some others of the chief men of the Senate, on the day of election, which was fixed for the twentieth of October.
		Catiline was rendered desperate by this his second defeat, and resolved without farther delay to attempt the execution of all his schemes.
		But, as the vigilance of Cicero was the greatest obstacle to their success, Catiline desired to see him slain before he left Rome; and two knights, parties to the conspiracy, undertook to visit him early on pretence of business, and to kill him in his bed.

		But Catiline's hopes were again disappointed; once more he failed to obtain the consulship (64); and, moreover, it soon became apparent that one of the new consuls, Cicero, was mysteriously able to thwart all the schemes of the conspirators.
		Catiline now resolved upon open war; preparations were set on foot throughout Italy, especially in Etruria, where the standard of revolt was raised by the centurion C. Manlius (or Mallius), one of Sulla's veterans.
		Catiline, by his bravery, his military talents, his vigorous resolution, and his wonderful power over men, was eminently qualified as a revolutionary leader.

		While causa is not a preposition, it is used as if it were one, and the position of the genitive in front of the noun may be the precedent for the post-position of pre-positions in poetry.

	Sallust's Republic: The Conspiracy of Catiline
		Catiline was not the first villainous character in Roman history -- Livy's account of the activities of the nobleman Appius Claudius (Livy, Book III) shows him to have been lustful, selfish, arrogant and menacing -- but Catiline is certainly rendered as the most hideous of villains.
		The guilty conscience which Sallust ascribes to Catiline now becomes extremely important, for it was finally the mental perturbance, caused by his sense of guilt, that drove him to abandon all restraint and set the conspiracy in motion.
		Catiline's broad range of support, which included members of all social classes, suggests that he might have been justified in expecting his plot to succeed through quasi-legitimate means.

		Lucius Catiline ought to have been visited with the severest punishment, and to have been put to death long since; and both the customs of our ancestors, and the rigor of my office, and the republic, demanded this of me; but how many, think you, were there who did not believe what I reported?
		On this I, that violent consul, who drive citizens into exile by a word, asked of Catiline whether he had been at the nocturnal meeting at Marcus Lecca’s or not; when that most audacious man, convicted of his own conscience, was at first silent.
		But those men who keep saying that Catiline is going to Marseilles do not complain of this so much as they fear it; for there is not one of them so inclined to pity, as not to prefer that he should go to Manlius rather than to Marseilles.

	Ancient History Sourcebook: Sallust: Life in Rome in the Late Republic, c. 63 BCE
		Catiline's anarchistic conspiracy of 63 B.C. was, of course, only possible in a society in which there were a great number of depraved and desperate men, ready for any enterprise, however villainous.
		Such propensities drove young men, when their patrimonies were run through, to criminal practices; for their minds, impregnated with evil habits, could not easily abstain from gratifying their passions, and were thus the more inordinately devoted in every way to rapacity and extravagance.
		Catiline was alleged to have corrupted a Vestal Virgin, and wrought many vile crimes; at last, smitten with a passion for a certain Aurelia, he murdered his own grown-up son, because she objected to marrying him and having in the house a grown-up stepson.

		Patricia J. Osmond, “Catiline in Florence and Fiesole: The Medieval and Renaissance After-life of a Roman Conspirator,” IJCT 7 (2000-2001), pp.
		The story of Catiline, the Roman noble who plotted to overthrow the Roman Republic in 63 B.C., occupies a significant place in Florentine historiography and political thought of the later Middle Ages and early Renaissance.
		Continuously present in the elaboration of Florentine “civic humanism,” Sallust’s story of Catiline supplies, in fact, an important connection between Guelf patriotism and the classicizing republicanism of the Quattrocento.
