Review: The only thing to not like here is the lack of a hardback edition. Otherwise this is a fantastic printing of an important historical text. Gaius Sallustius Crispus (known to us today as simply “Sallust”) is a very credible source for the content discussed in the book. Sallust was a Caesarian partisan during the Roman Civil Wars involving Caesar and Pompey and he accompanied Caesar in Africa and served as a Praetor. While this is significant, what is known to history does not indicate that Sallust played any significant roles whatsoever in the campaigns themselves. He is best known for his written works which give us key insights into the Jugurthine War and the Catiline Conspiracy in the late Roman Republic. The former saw the demise of Marius and the rise of the tyrant Sulla, but perhaps most compromising to some readers is the latter. Historians argue about the degree to which Caesar was involved in the Catiline Conspiracy - and since Sallust was a Caesarian, some may perceive him as partial to Caesar’s cause or viewpoints regarding how to punish the conspirators. All in all, this is a fascinating and accessible look at the end times of the Roman Republic from a source who was quite close to the action. Sallust is a treasure to read for anyone interested in the period and wants a view more nuanced and informed than what movies and TV will leave you with. The print in this book is readable and the cover, while paperback, is thick and appropriate. This book couples Sallust’s two most important works (not often printed in isolation, but they can be found) as well as some other brief histories.
Review: very interesting - easy read - well referenced

Nachdem ich mich zu Schulzeiten mit der Catilinarischen Verschwörung im O-Ton herumgeplagt (und oftmals lauthals losgeflucht) habe, lag es für mich nahe, mir jetzt (mit viel Abstand zum damals erlittenen Trauma des sallustanischen Lateins) viele Jahre später die gesammelten Werke Sallusts in einer preislich äußerst attraktiven Ausgabe zu erwerben. Die vorliegende Ausgabe von Oxford World Classics beinhaltet alle (zum Großteil) erhaltenen Werke des berühmten römischen Politikers und Historikers Gaius Sallustius Crispus (1. Jhd. v. Chr.). Eine moralisierende Grundtendenz durchzieht ein jedes seiner Werke, was umso pikanter erscheint, wenn man sich vergegenwärtigt, dass ihr Autor 50 v. Chr. wegen moralischen Fehlverhaltens aus dem römischen Senat ausgeschlossen wurde. Nachdem seine politischen Ambitionen solcherart (und durch den bald folgenden Bürgerkrieg Cäsars) zunichte gemacht wurden, verlegte sich Sallust aufs Schreiben und legte in der Folgezeit 3 großartige Monographien vor. 1. Die Catilinarische Verschwörung beschreibt die Umsturzversuche von L. Sergius Catilina in den 60er Jahren v. Chr., sowie deren heldenhafte (zumindest so man Ciceros eigenen Schriften glaubt^^) Verhinderung durch den Konsul Marcus Tullius Cicero. 2. Der Krieg gegen Iugurtha beschreibt Roms Feldzug gegen den Numiderkönig Iugurtha um 110 v. Chr., sowie die schleichende Korrumpierung von Roms Adelsgeschlechtern (wer bekommt welches militärische Kommando). 3. Die nur noch in einzelnen Fragmenten erhaltenen Historien, behandeln die Jahre 78-69 v. Chr. und geben für den Großteil Reden verschiedener (römischer und fremdländischer) politischer Größen wieder. Alles in allem eine preisgünstige Ausgabe der Werke eines der letzten großen Historiker der ausgehenden Römischen Republik. Abgerundet wird sie durch die umfangreichen Endnoten des Herausgebers, die gerade das Verständnis der nur noch fragmentarisch erhaltenen Historien um ein Vielfaches erleichtern. Klare Kaufempfehlung!
