…After that, he devoted himself to historical writing, and his clear-spoken style and concise prose had a profound influence on Tacitus and others. Since Catiline, which described the Catiline Conspiracy (62 BC), which was a symbol of the violent social situation created by Sulla's dictatorship, Sallust's subject matter has consistently been the contemporary history of Roman society, which was in a state of increasing disintegration. His second work, The Jugurthine War, depicts the corruption of the noble families of Rome (nobiles) and the beginning of the resistance of the plebeians against the reactionary politics that were exposed in the wake of the Numidian succession dispute that began in 118 BC, and analyzes the starting point of his “modern history.” … From "Historical Drama"...Therefore, the characters in Roman historical dramas are less vivid than those in English chronicle dramas, but in terms of dramatic imagination, they can be seen as having a more definite reality due to their mythologization in popular culture.
