Sallust was a Roman historian who throughout his career stood by his principles as a popularis, and an opposer of Pompey's party and the old aristocracy of Rome. In 46 he served as a praetor and accompanied Caesar in his African campaign. He was promoted to governor of the providence of Africa Nova.

He does state that Catiline had many noble traits. He was all that a Roman man needed to be to succeed. In particular, Sallust shows Catiline as deeply courageous in his final battle.

Autorenporträt
Sallust (86 - c.¿35 BC), was a Roman historian and politician from an Italian plebeian family. Probably born at Amiternum in the country of the Sabines, Sallust became a partisan of Julius Caesar (100 to 44 BC) around 50 BC. He is the earliest known Latin-language Roman historian with surviving works to his name. As a writer, Sallust was primarily influenced by the works of the 5th-century BC Greek historian Thucydides. During his political career he amassed great and ill-gotten wealth from his governorship of Africa.On his return to Rome he purchased and began laying out the famous Gardens of Sallust, which were later inherited by the emperors.
