Drawing on the evidence of Sallust's digressions in particular, and in contrast to previous views of his work as purely moralistic or unsophisticated, it argues that Sallust uses his historiography to advance a coherent set of ideas about the political chaos he saw around him, and to participate in the broader debates which characterised his period. It also offers a new perspective on the argumentative qualities of classical historiography more widely"--Provided by publisher.Historiography of Rome and its empire.CivilizationRomeHistoryRepublic, 265-30 B.CHistoriographyRomeIntellectual lifeRomeCivilizationCivilization.909Shaw E.
