Excerpt from C. Crispi Sallustii De Catilinae Conjuratione Belloque Jugurthino HistoriaeWould incur from the hostility of the Romans, should they succeed in finally subjugating Pontus and Armenia. The only other fragment of any length is the description of a splendid entertainment given to Metellus on his return, after a year's absence, from his government of Farther Spain. It appears, from several other frag ments, that Sallust had introduced, on occasion of the Mithridatic War, a geographical account of the shores and countries bordering on the Euxine, in the same manner as he enters into a topographical description of Africa in his History of the Jugurthine War. This part of his work has been much applauded by ancient writers for exactness and liveliness and is frequently referred to, as the highest authority, by Strabo, Pompo nius Mela, and other geographers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
