书籍简介

萨鲁斯特，盖乌斯-萨鲁斯提乌斯-克里斯普斯（公元前86-35年），来自阿米特努姆的萨宾人，52年作为护民官对抗西塞罗和米洛，50年被逐出元老院后加入凯撒，被凯撒恢复元老院，46年作为禁卫官参加了他的非洲战役，随后被任命为新非洲（努米底亚）总督。回到罗马后，他险些因渎职而被定罪，从公共生活中退休，并开始从事历史学研究。萨鲁斯特的一部作品是五部年鉴式的《罗马史》，比他关于卡提林和朱古尔塔的专著（LCL 116）更为广泛，涉及后苏兰时代的整个罗马国内外历史。虽然是零散的，但它提供了关于公元前78年至67年左右这段关键历史时期的宝贵信息和见解。

虽然萨鲁斯特在分析人物和事件时明显不含糊，而且带有党派色彩，但他的作品非常重要，并对后来的历史学家，特别是塔西佗产生了重大影响。以修昔底德为榜样，但在罗马文体和修辞传统的基础上，萨卢斯特实现了独特的风格，集中且引人注目；生动的人物描述，特别是在演讲中；并善于使用特定的事件来说明大型的一般主题。

在这一卷中，约翰-T-拉姆齐重新编辑了《罗马史》和两封假的《致凯撒的信》，并提供了大量的注释，从而完善了Loeb Classical Library版的萨拉斯特作品。

Sallust, Gaius Sallustius Crispus (86-35 BCE), a Sabine from Amiternum, acted as tribune against Cicero and Milo in 52, joined Caesar after being expelled from the Senate in 50, was restored to the Senate by Caesar and took part in his African campaign as praetor in 46, and was then appointed governor of New Africa (Numidia). Upon his return to Rome he narrowly escaped conviction for malfeasance in office, retired from public life, and took up historiography. Sallust's last work, the annalistic Histories in five books, is much more expansive than his monographs on Catiline and Jugurtha (LCL 116), treating the whole of Roman history at home and abroad in the post-Sullan age. Although fragmentary, it provides invaluable information and insight about a crucial period of history spanning the period from 78 to around 67 BCE.

Although Sallust is decidedly unsubtle and partisan in analyzing people and events, his works are important and significantly influenced later historians, notably Tacitus. Taking Thucydides as his model but building on Roman stylistic and rhetorical traditions, Sallust achieved a distinctive style, concentrated and arresting; lively characterizations, especially in the speeches; and skill at using particular episodes to illustrate large general themes.

For this volume, which completes the Loeb Classical Library edition of Sallust's works, John T. Ramsey has freshly edited the Histories and the two pseudo-Sallustian Letters to Caesar, supplying ample annotation.
