Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical veracity of speeches found in ancient histories, particularly focusing on Sallust's account of speeches delivered by Roman conspirators Catalina, Manlius, and their associates. The author argues that these speeches are likely Sallust's own compositions rather than verbatim accounts of the actual orations. The author delves into the political and social climate of the period, exploring the motivations and strategies of the conspirators as portrayed by Sallust and comparing them to accounts from other ancient sources. The book also examines the literary techniques employed by Sallust to create compelling and persuasive speeches that advance his narrative. By analyzing the speeches within their historical context and examining Sallust's style, the book sheds new light on the nature of historical writing in antiquity and the ways in which ancient authors shaped historical events through their literary choices.
