Sallust

The Roman historian Sallust records a speech made by Julius Caesar as a senator; the speech may be a fabrication or elaboration after the fact because of its obvious irony.

Gibbon alludes to passages in Strabo, Sallust, Seneca, Macrobius and Longinus, among many others.

Samuel Adams’s master’s thesis was “delivered in flawless Latin,” Alexander Hamilton copied Demosthenes into his commonplace book, and Thomas Jefferson modeled his oratory on the prose of Livy, Sallust, and Tacitus.

The sole legitimate object of war, both Cicero and Sallust declared to be an assured peace.

These were found in the gardens of Sallust, and were formerly preserved in the Senator's Palace.
