I Fragmenta 1.1-146

The Historiae, of which only fragments survive, was probably Sallust’s most comprehensive work of history. Embracing the eventful period between 78-67 BC, it describes a series of political crises which ultimately lead to the fall of the Roman Republic and the establishment of Augustus’ principate. This volume fills a desideratum in Sallustian studies presenting a new, complete edition and the first comprehensive commentary on the fragments.

"[...] no serious reader of the Historiae, and no serious student of the intellectual history of the late Republic will be in a position to disregard this work. Its next instalment is eagerly awaited."

"Overall, the edition is a valuable resource for scholars working on Sallust or Latin historiography in general. Advanced graduate students will also find it useful, although it is not a teaching text and is unsuitable for undergraduates. Readers will benefit from the convenience of finding text, commentary, testimonia, and bibliography in one volume."
