Gaius Sallustius Crispus, usually Anglicised as Sallust (86 – c. 35 BC), was a Roman historian and politician from a plebeian family, according to his Wikipedia entry. "Probably born at Amiternum in the country of the Sabines, Sallust became a partisan of Julius Caesar (100 to 44 BC), circa 50s BC. He is the earliest known Latin-language Roman historian with surviving works to his name, of which Conspiracy of Catiline (on the eponymous conspiracy), The Jugurthine War (on the eponymous war), and the Histories (of which only fragments survive) remain extant." 150 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
