	Catiline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marcus Tullius Cicero, his most bitter political enemy, spared no denunciation particularly in his Catiline Orations, and Gaius Sallustius Crispus attributed some of the vilest crimes to him in his moralistic monograph, Bellum Catilinae.
		Shortly thereafter, Cicero denounced Catiline before the senate in the first of his four Catiline Orations.
		Catiline was born in 108 BC (or possibly slightly earlier) to a family of declining social and financial fortunes.

	Catiline Orations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Catiline, who was running for the consulship a second time after having lost the first time around, tried to ensure his victory by resorting to blatant and excessive bribery.
		Catiline, in turn, conspired with some of his cronies to murder Cicero and the key men of the Senate on the day of the election.
		In response to Catiline's behavior, the Senate issued a senatus consultum ultimum, a kind of declaration of martial law invoked whenever the Senate and the Roman Republic were in imminent danger from treason or sedition.

		Catiline had appealed to them by positioning himself as their senatorial protector and by capitalizing on their discontentment; but if he is gluttonous, lecherous, and careless with his money, he does not represent their concerns, does not have much in common with the way they live.
		Catiline's band exemplifies the immorality that accompanies luxury: "reclining at their banquets, embracing their whores, stupefied by wine, stuffed with food, crowned with garlands, reeking with scent, enfeebled by debauchery, they belch out in their conversation the murder of the loyal citizens and the firing of Rome" (p.
		In this second oration, Cicero addresses the general populace instead of the more elite Senate, and he delivers the oration after Catiline has already been exiled; his tone is therefore less one of justification than in the first oration, and he is able to attack Catiline more viciously.

	Catiline and the Catilinarian Conspiracy
		Catiline first appears in the historical record as a devoted adherent of Sulla, the aristocrat named dictator in 82 B.C. One of Sulla's aims during this time was to reconstitute the Roman state and save it from the turmoil rapidly engulfing it.
		Catiline, in order to lessen the suspicion under which he was held, was compelled to take the latter option.
		Catiline, in other words, wanted all accounts of sums borrowed and lent at Rome to be destroyed, so that all debts would in effect be cancelled.

	The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: Catiline @ HighBeam Research
		The prime sources for Catiline's conspiracy are Cicero's four orations against him and Sallust's biography of him, but both of these are prejudiced and unreliable.
		CATILINE [Catiline] (Lucius Sergius Catilina), c.108 BC-62 BC, Roman politician and conspirator.
		Cicero became alarmed and on Nov. 8, with facts gained from Catiline's mistress, accused him in the senate (First Oration against Catiline).

	Sallust's Republic: The Conspiracy of Catiline
		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.
		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.

	Conspiracy of Catiline and The Jurgurthine War
		Catiline, during this time, was exerting himself with his light troops in the front, sustaining such as were pressed, substituting fresh men for the wounded, attending to every exigency, charging in person, wounding many an enemy, and performing at once the duties of a valiant soldier and a skillful general.
		Catiline himself was found, far in advance of his men, among the dead bodies of the enemy; he was not quite breathless, and still expressed in his countenance the fierceness of spirit which he had shown during his life.
		Catiline himself, having stayed a few days with Caius Flaminius Flamma in the neighborhood of Arretium,[186] while he was supplying the adjacent parts, already excited to insurrection, with arms, marched with his fasces, and other ensigns of authority, to join Manlius in his camp.

		But Jonson’s theory proved hampering; while his effort to secure fidelity to the historical authorities led him to encumber Sejanus with an absurd paraphernalia of notes, and to transcribe large portions of Cicero& orations into Catiline.
		In connection with Sejanus (acted 1603), 35 we may consider Catiline (acted 1611) as representing Jonson’s contribution to tragedy; The Fall of Mortimer is only a fragment, and, apparently, was intended to be even more classical than Catiline.
		Yet the chief persons, Sejanus and Tiberius, Catiline and Cicero, are thoughtfully conceived and faithfully represented.

		Lucius was referring to a weighty study funded by the Ministry and entitled: The Orations against Catiline: a historical fake, which Fabiani had recently published, as a leading researcher of the large group of orthodox academics who denied the historical fact of the four Orations.
		Catiline’s revenge against is opponents was harsh: Cicero himself was strangled in the Mamertine Prison.
		In his youth Catiline had in fact undergone a trial, from which he was acquitted, in which he had been accused of seducing the vestal Fabia, sister of Terentia, the wife of Cicero, who, following the death of her husband was married a third time to Sallust himself.

	Cicero and Catiline: Sources and Historical Bias
		His goals in the Orations are to alert the Roman Senate and people to the danger Catiline represents to the Republic, to persuade these audiences to take decisive action against the aristocrat, and, finally, to aggrandize his own role in unmasking and frustrating the conspirators' criminal ambitions.
		Cicero, the fuller of the two, is of course a personally involved witness throughout the Catilinarian Orations, determined to manipulate his audience's interpretation of Catiline and his role in contemporary politics.
		Sallust sees Catiline as an incarnation of the corruption and decadence into which the Roman Republic had fallen in its final years, a figure symbolic of the wider ruin that was then engulfing the state.

		The tribe, the Allobroges, had been in contact with Catiline's faction, but were of conflicted loyalties: The tribe was a client of Quintus Fabius Sanga, who was loyal to Rome, but some in the tribe wanted to join with Catiline.

	Golden Age of Latin Literature - Indopedia, the Indological knowledgebase
		In prose, Golden Age Latin is exemplified by Julius Caesar, whose Commentaries on the Gallic Wars display a laconic, precise, military style; and by Marcus Tullius Cicero, a practicing lawyer and politician, whose judicial arguments and political speeches, most notably the Catiline Orations, were considered for centuries to be the best models for Latin prose.
		Historiography was an important genre of classical Latin prose; it includes Sallust, who wrote of the Conspiracy of Catiline and the War Against Jugurtha, his only works that have been preserved complete.
		Livy, also, was a historian; his Ab Urbe Condita, a history of Rome "from the Founding of the City," was originally in 145 books, of which only 35 have been preserved.

		For example, it is ridiculous to claim that the death of Catiline was not influenced by Cicero's powerful orations denouncing Catiline and Cicero's support for the death penalty.
		Mark Antony once claimed in a speech that Cicero was responsible for not only the murder of Catiline, but also the assassination of Clodius and the split between Caesar and Pompey.
		Though Cicero may have been a powerful speaker, the ideas behind his words were nothing admirable.
