Bellum Catilinae is a historical account of the conspiracy led by Lucius Sergius Catilina against the Roman Republic in 63 BC, written by the Roman historian Sallust. The book describes the events leading up to the conspiracy, including the political and social climate of Rome at the time, and the key players involved in the plot.
