| Caesar, who had defended Catiline's confederates in the Senate, was oratorically worsted by both Cicero and Cato; suspicions of his involvement in the Catilinarian conspiracy tainted him in the eyes of many. But Crassus and Caesar, both of whom had been sympathetic with, and probable participants in, the Catilinarian conspiracy, were alive and well. Many of Sallust's lost, but his two surviving complete works--a description of the Jug an account of the Catilinarian conspiracy--are gems of conciseness, if not altogether historically accurate and sometimes encumbered by the author's undisguised biases. |
