Edited by Leonhard Schmitz · Edited by Karl Gottlob Zumpt
"C. Sallusti Crispi De Bello Catilinario Et Jugurthino" by Sallust is a historical monograph published circa 41 BC. It chronicles the Jugurthine War between Rome and King Jugurtha of Numidia, exposing how corruption infected the Roman Republic. Sallust reveals how Jugurtha repeatedly bribed Roman officials, using this scandal to illustrate a broader moral decay threatening Rome's foundations. Through shifting scenes between Rome and North Africa, the work follows Romans and Numidians locked in a seven-year conflict that would test the Republic's integrity.
