	Life of Lucius Sergius Catilina
		Iam primum adulescens Catilina multa nefanda stupra fecerat, cum uirgine nobili, cum sacerdote Uestae, alia huiusce modi contra ius fasque.
		Catilina postquam fusas copias seque cum paucis relicuom uidet, memor generis atque pristinae suae dignitatis in confertissumos hostis incurrit ibique pugnans confoditur.
		Sed confecto proelio, tum uero cerneres, quanta audacia quantaque animi uis fuisset in exercitu Catilinae.

	Catilina : villain or scapegoat? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Cicero and Sallust portray Catilina as an archetypal villain--a rampant seducer of women and boys, a corrupter of innocents, an affront to the Gods and all Roman virtues--a larger than life figure who was tireless in his plotting to bring down the Roman Republic.
		Lucius Sergius Catilina (108-62 BC) was from a patrician family that had little in the way of money or influence.
		The Catilinian conspiracy was part of the death throes of a republic that had failed to evolve and adapt to the changing realities of a growing empire, growth of the number and influence of the urban plebians, and a shrinking percentage of landed gentry among the population.

	intro to Cicero's Catilinarians
		Catilina conceived the idea of offering himself as a candidate in opposition to these substitutes, but was not allowed to do so, since (as happened to many governors) he was facing a prosecution for illicit financial gains (extortion) in his province.
		However, Catilina was again defeated, and it was probably at this point that he abandoned constitutional methods and decided to achieve the headship of the state - and freedom from his debts - by conspiracy and revolutionary violence.
		Lucius Sulla succeeded but abdicated, Pompeius was at this moment holding a perilously large command, fourteen years later Caesar was to assume a dictatorship which only ended with his murder; and Octavian then became the emperor Augustus.

	LUCIUS SERGIUS CATILINA
		Lucius Sergius Catilina was a patrician member of a noble family which had not provided Rome with a consul for more than three hundred years and whose decayed fortunes he was determined to revive.
		The highest office in the State, the summit of his political ambitions, was not to be his by constitutional means, and it was the realization of this fact that turned Catiline into an active revolutionary preparing a coup d' etat in Rome and an insurrection in Italy.
		His troops had held their ground almost to a man; even those who had been scattered were found with their wounds in front; not a single freeborn citizen was taken alive and Catiline himself was found far in advance of his men, still breathing and with all his old spirit still showing upon his face.

	VROUWEN RONDOM CATILINA
		Lucius Sergius Catilina was een aan lager wal geraakte edelman, die een gooi deed naar de macht in de Romeinse staat, toen nog geen keizerrijk maar een republiek.
		Catilina wist veel van die maatschappelijke onvrede te mobiliseren tot een tamelijk breed gedragen opstand.
		Via die vrouwen geloofde Catilina dat het mogelijk was de slaven in de stad op te ruien, de stad in brand te steken en hun echtgenoten ofwel voor zijn kant te winnen ofwel te doden.

		He had six competitors, of whom two were patricians, Publius Sulpicius Galba and Lucius Sergius Catilina, and four plebeians, of whom Gaius Antonius, son of the orator Marcus Antonius, and Lucius Cassius Longinus were nobiles, and Quintus Cornificius and Gaius Licinius Sacerdos were almost the first of their families to be elected to public office.
		Catilina was acquitted, moreover, in such a way that Clodius became widely suspected of collusion, for the examination and rejection of jurors appeared to be done according to the wishes of the defense.
		Both Catilina and Antonius made insulting replies to this speech of Cicero and went on counter-attack using the only argument they had, that he was a new man. There are orations extant published in their names, not written by them themselves but by Cicero's enemies; it's probably best not to pay attention to them.

	Julius Caesar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lucius Sergius Catilina, twice a candidate for consul, faced charges of plotting to overthrow the Republic through armed rebellion.
		Among his legates were his cousins Lucius Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, Titus Labienus and Quintus Tullius Cicero, the younger brother of Caesar's political opponent, Cicero.
		A third statue was erected on the capitol alongside those of the seven Roman Kings and with that of Lucius Junius Brutus, the man who led the revolt to expel the Kings originally.

		Catilina was acquitted, partly due to the testimony of Quintus Catulus, a staunch conservative.
		Though Catilina speaks of force, what had in truth driven him from his city was words, the fiery allegations of the accomplished rhetorician Cicero, a man with incredible influence throughout history.
		Catilina was at one and the same time a furnace of inordinate sensual passions and a serious student of military affairs.

		And it was during his term as consul that he defended the Res Publica by discovering and putting an end to the terrifying conspiration by Lucius Sergius Catilina.
		At first Catilina tried to take over the power in a legal way, but sincee this did not succed, he decided to take the illegal way to reach his personal goals.
		Catilina used an unbelievable fury against the Res Publica; Catilina planned several criminal activities like arson, military attacks and murder; Catilina was thus guilty of treason towards the institutions and people of the republic.

		The affair did little credit to any concerned, except for the honest and patriotic Cato the Younger and possibly for Julius Caesar, who made a daring plea to a vindictive and ruthless majority on behalf of the conspirators whom he scorned.

	Roman Names
		Some praenomina are derived from circumstances of birth: Lucius (the light of day), Manius (morning), Posthumus (born after his father`s death), Gnaeus („born“, „birthmark“), Spurius (possibly used for bastards), Publius (growing up, coming of age – „pubes“, grown up), Numerius („numbered“), Caeso („cut“ from the mother, hence Caesarian operation), Agrippa („born feet first“).
		Roman parents (it would be more correct to say fathers, because fathers were obliged to name their children) were limited to a great extent while choosing names for their sons.
		The Domition gens used Gnaeus and Lucius, the Bibulia Gaius, Lucius and Marcus, the Fabia and Quintilia Caeso.

		He was a partisan of Lucius Sulla, whom he succeeded as quaestor.
		Although Cicero's family did not belong to the Roman aristocracy, he was supported in the competition for the consulship; this is where he crosses paths with Lucius Sergius Catilina, known as Catiline.

		The senate was charged with extreme sentiments this afternoon as consul Marcus Tullius Cicero utterly battered the public face of Lucius Sergius Catilina, consulship rival and purported conspirator to murder members of the Roman government.
		"Yes, we have a formal resolution of the senate to this effect; by it remains an unpublished document, a sword still in the sheath, though it is a resolution, Catilina, which rightly understood required your immediate execution." Cicero's eyes blazed with latent wrath and irony at the twenty day immediate execution order.
		He urged, in what he thought was a hopeless plea to the incorrigible Catiline, that the criminal leave Rome, and deliver the Roman political environ from what he called a "disease, which has seized the state," for which Catiline's departure, arrest, or execution is the only cure.

		Lucius Sergius Catilina was a young aristocrat, and - like many of his peers - he was deeply in debt, as well as frustrated by failure to win election to the political offices he thought his due.
		But his Cicero turns out to be a droning bore: so much so, that at the first performance a good proportion of the audience walked out during his interminable denunciation of Catiline to the Senate (Catiline's taunt in reply - 'insolent tongue-man' - must have called to mind Fulvia's horrible attack on Cicero's speaking parts).
		In complete contrast, Ibsen's Catilina, his first play, published under a pseudonym in 1850, writes Cicero out of the action entirely: he never appears on stage and is hardly mentioned by name.

	The Late Republic: Marcus Tullius Cicero
		Cicero's political career coincided with the turbulent years of revolution that led to the fall of the republic in the late first century BC.
		Cicero as consul in 63 BC had to deal with a conspiracy led by Lucius Sergius Catilina (generally called Catiline in English) (see paragraphs 10-22).
		Catiline, in the words of the Oxford Classical Dictionary, [championed] the cause of the poor and dispossessed: dissolute aristocrats, bankrupt Sullan veterans, and those they had driven from their lands." Through the untiring efforts of Cicero, the conspiracy was revealed and defeated.

	Sallust's Republic: The Conspiracy of Catiline (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		To assist the specific investigation into Catiline's conspiracy, we shall also utilize a small portion of Cicero's fourth published oration "Against Catilina," for Cicero, as consul in 63 BC, was a major player in the affair.
		In their first delivery from the mouth of Cicero, the persuasive force of his speeches worked to turn the Senate and people of Rome against the conspirators.
		We might conclude from Sallust that the fall of the Republic transpired a few decades too late, a tardy remedy to the Empire's inconstant, often impotent oligarchy: but we can also be thankful that the Romans' last century of turbulent freedom allowed for, and encouraged, the rapid evolution of their fascinating literature.

		Popular thugs like Lucius Sergius Catilina (Catiline) and Publius Clodius Pulcher saw in the shifting vacuums of power an opportunity to flout the law and win power and riches at the expense of their fellow countrymen.
		Standing squarely in their path was a Roman Senator, Marcus Tullius Cicero, who knew how to win men's minds with his powerful speeches and who had a fanatical dedication to maintaining the rule of law in the face of anarchy.
		Not only were his speeches eagerly read by his contemporaries, but early Christian monks saw in the great orator a basically moral, even if Pagan, writer whose work was worth saving in the scriptorium.
