Descrizione

The first Catilinarian oration, Sallust and Plutarch describe Catiline as completely isolated within the Senate: it is the image depicted in the famous fresco by Cesare Maccari, Cicero Denounces Catiline. This paper calls into question such an idea. The tradition on the trials against Catiline of 65/64 and on some Senate sessions of September/November 63 suggests a much more complex picture: Catiline could still enjoy the support of important friends and most of the senators remained highly sceptical of Cicero’s accusations.
