In the Jugurthine War, you get wonderful details on the rise of the great generals, Marius and Sulla, who were friends and then deadly rivals in a struggle that essentially sowed the seeds of the end of the Roman Republic in the next generation. by Aris & Phillips "Pero si, esclavo de sus pasiones, se abandona a la ociosidad y a los de- leites perniciosos, a poco que se engolfa en ellos y por su entorpecimiento se reconoce ya sin fuerzas, sin tiempo y sin facultades para nada" In many ways, Sallust's history resembles Caesar's memoirs twenty years later, but Caesar's biases are much more difficult to ferret out.
