Catiline (108 - 62 BC) was a Roman politician who tried to
overthrow the Roman Republic. He was stopped however, by Cicero,
who was consul at the time, in 63 BC. Cicero's famous speech
against Catiline forced him to flee the city. A few months later
he and his followers were killed by the Roman army. - ↑ Sallust,
