Middlesex, England: Penguin Classics, 1969. Translated by S.A. Handford. Sallust (86-c.35 B.C.), who held various public offices in Rome and later a governorship in Africa, supported the political group known as the populares. He was a friend of Caesar and an opponent of Cicero. His history of the war against Jugurtha, King of Numidia, and his account of Catiline's conspiracy in 63 B.C. are his only complete works to survive; they were written in the years after Caesar's assassination. These narratives are more noteworthy for literary style than strict accuracy, and S.A. Handford's new translation fully preserves the dramatic and vivid qualities of the original Latin. 240 pages. Previous owner's information on first page. Spine creased; corners and spine tips rubbed and shelfworn. Very slight surface creasing to covers. Interior pages yellowed due to age otherwise clean and unmarked with a sound binding. Very serviceable textbook. . Mass Market Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
