撒路斯提乌斯在罗马史学史上的地位——对《喀提林阴谋》、《朱古达战争》的分析

Sallust'ststus in Roman History of Historiography——Analysis on The War With Catiline and The War With Jugurtha

撒路斯提乌斯是罗马共和时期的政治家、史家。他的作品中只有《喀提林阴谋》、《朱古达战争》比较完整地保留下来。无论在选材上、写作上,撒路斯提乌斯都有自己的独到之处。他擅长以小见大,选择罗马共和时期的特定历史事件来揭示时代的特征。对这两部作品的分析一方面将会帮助我们了解当时罗马的社会状况,另一方面也可以更好地评价撒路斯提乌斯对后来罗马史家的影响以及他在罗马史学史上的地位。

Sallust was a politician and historian in the late Roman republic. His works The War With Catiline and The War With Jugurtha are retained quite completely.
