ARGUMENTUM L. Sergius Catilina, homo patricii generis, magna vi et animi et corporis, sed ingenio malo pravoque, praetorius, qui iam a. u. c. 689 caedem consulum facere eaque facta rerum potiri constituerat, casu autem rem perficere prohibitus erat, ascitis ad consilium rei publicae opprimendae hominibus omnis generis perditissiis atque audacissimis, quos inopia, cupiditas, scelera stimulabant, consulatum in annum 691 p. u. c. petivit, sed cum, quae in animo habebat, perniciosa rei publicae consilia parum occultata essent, studiis bonorum omnium M. Tullius Cicero una cum C. Antonio consul factus est. Qua re commotus L. Catilina M. Cicerone C. Antonio consulibus cupidius etiam sua consilia recepit, quibus maxime Ciceronis consulis diligentia restitit ad quem Catilinae eiusque sociorum consilia a Fulvia, muliere nobili, quae rem habebat cum Q. Curio, qui particeps fuit conspirationis illius, deferebantur. Cum autem ista mala consilia contra salutem rei publicae a coniuratis inita apertius iam agitarentur, senatus consultum factum est, darent operam consules, ne quid res publica detrimenti caperet, effectumque est, ut Catilina spe consulatus, quem in proximum annum petebat, excideret, designarenturque D. Silanus et L. Murena. Quae cum ita essent, L. Catilina, qui iam ante per Italiam ad homines seditiosos, maxime veteres L. Sullae milites, concitandos nuntios miserat, ad C. Manlium, qui Faesulas, in urbem Etruriae munitam, manum armatorum coegerat, proficisci constituit et bellum patriae inferre convocatisque nocte, quae inter VIII et VII Id. Novembres erat, sociis in domum M. Porci Laecae consilium, quod ceperat, aperuit. Qua in congregatione nocturna duo equites Romani Ciceronem consulem illa ipsa nocte ante lucem, cum sicut salutaturi eius domum intrassent, interficiendum receperunt. M. Cicero vitatis insidiis proximo die, qui fuit a. d. VI Id. Novembres, dispositis praesidiis senatum in templum Iovis Statoris convocavit, quo cum Catilina quasi sui purgandi causa venisset, Cicero eam, quae infra legitur, orationem in Catilinam vehementissime invehens habuit.
Cicero Letters to Atticus: Vol 1. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Marcus Tullius Cicero - Ionlineshopping.Com, 2018 -
The letters contained in this volume cover a large and important period in Cicero’s life and in the history of Rome. They begin when he was 38 years of age; and at first they are not very numerous. There are only two of that year (68 B.C.), six of the following year, one of the year 66, when he held the praetorship, and two of 65. Then there is a gap in his correspondence. No letters at all survive from the period of his consulship and the Catilinarian conspiracy; and the letters to Atticus do not begin again until two years after that event. Thereafter they are sufficiently frequent to justify Cornelius Nepos’ criticism, that reading them, one has little need of an elaborate history of the period. There are full—almost too full—details, considering the frequent complaints and repetitions, during the year of his banishment (58–57 B.C.), and the correspondence continues unbroken to the year 54. Then after a lapse of two years or more, which Atticus presumably spent in Rome, it begins again in 51, when Cicero was sent to Cilicia as pro-consul, much against his will; and the volume ends with a hint of the trouble that was brewing between Caesar and Pompey, as Cicero was returning to Rome towards the end of the next year. The letters have been translated in the traditionary order in which they are usually printed. That order, however, is not strictly chronological; and, for the convenience of those who would read them in their historical order, a table arranging them so far as possible in order of date has been drawn up at the end of the volume.
