The War with Catiline or Conspiracy of Catiline (De coniuratione Catilinae or Bellum Catilinae) by the Roman historian Sallust is an account of the turbulent political events of 63 BC, during which the senator Catiline plotted to seize the Roman government, only to be pre-empted by the consul Cicero. The rising Julius Caesar is portrayed sympathetically, protesting against Cicero's extra-judicial executions. This may be a reflection of Sallust's partisan sympathies at the time of writing, probably during the period of the civil wars two decades later.
