A collection of the writings of Sallust, renowned in the latter half of the first century BC for his prose. The volume contains the text of two of his best-known works as well as more than 70 extracts from his "Histories".

This first new edition of Sallust in over thirty years is based on a fresh study and collation of the manuscripts as well as careful consideration of the indirect tradition. Besides the well-known Catiline and Jugurtha, the volume contains more than seventy of the longer or more interesting fragments of the Histories and also the spurious Epistulae ad Caesarem and Invectivae.

'as one reads through the opening of the new Oxford Classical Text of Sallust, it swiftly becomes clear that the editing of Rome's first great historian has been entrusted to the hands of a true professional' S.P. Oakley, Emmanuel College, Cambridge, The Classical Review, Vol. XLIII, No. 1, 1993
