Lesson in Latin | How was Catiline defeated | Part I

Gaius Sallustius Crispus (Sallust) wrote 'Bellum Catilinae' /War of Catiline/, or 'De coniuratione Catilinae' /Conspiracy of Catiline/ as a chronicle of the attempted overthrow of the government by the aristocrat Catiline in 63 BC. It is his first history and one of the earliest historical monographs in Latin literature, written as a chronicle of the attempted overthrow of the government by the aristocrat Catiline in 63 BC. Sallust's monograph is one of the main sources on Catiline's conspiracy, along with Cicero's Catilinarian orations. Louis E. Lord calls it 'one of the best known and least significant episodes in Roman history' (Loeb Classical Library translation of Cicero's Catilinarian orations, Introduction, 1937). Would you agree? How known is it to you? As we read and learn from Sallust, the episode was an exciting one. 📜 Daniel Pettersson explains Latin in Latin I Gaius Sallustius Crispus, 'Catilinae Coniuratio' Link to PART TWO: http://bit.ly/3V4EUkt ⏱️ Use TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Lucius Catilina plotted against the state, but the Fortune wasn't on his side 0:15 Introduction to Latin lesson 0:33 Catiline is well-known thanks to Cicero 0:48 'And shall we (...) tolerate Catiline, openly desirous to destroy the whole world with fire and slaughter?' 1:04 Catiline's own words, according to Sallust 2:11 Who are Catiline's allies? 2:53 An unexpected twist of events 3:38 Catiline is still in the dark, feeling hopeful 3:57 'Catilina legiones instruit'/ Catiline doesn't want to shed blood 4:57 'Nuntius'/ Not very good news 5:55 Quintus Metellus has a saying in Catiline's escape plans 6:50 'Nulla spes fugae' 9:23 The violent battle is about to start...
