Do you support Catilina in the catiline conspiracy? Like, team Cicero or team Catiline bc honestly Catiline is so #problematic :// #OTemporaOMores
Hopeful regards, a Cicero stan
i think cicero and catilina should kiss actually
#/j
#hashtag lucius sergius catilina has done nothing wrong in his life ever
#also treason is sexy so even if he did. yeah
#AND YET i do love cicero as a historical figure! and YET you are sending this ask to me tumblr user Catilinas. like.
#serious answer is actually that i dont think the catilinarian conspiracy was actually real :/
#or not in the way cicero claims it was. the 'catilinarian' 'conspiracy'
#there was a whole bunch of things going on. general unrest. gaius manlius vibing in etruria w sullan veterans
#but also stuff was still going on unresolved from the social war! and also the debt crisis! various vaguely related things
#happening all over italy and cicero was like Well Obviously This Is All Because Of That One Guy Who Has Failed To Be Elected Like Three
#Entire Times By Now
#honestly i think catilina had no idea what he was doing. like what was his plan. get elected but also burn down rome?
#abolish debt...... in the city he was allegedly going to burn down??????
#the wild thing is that in like. the first catilinarian. cicero compares him to e.g. tiberius gracchus and saturninus as would-be destroyers
#of the republic. but the gracchi / saturninus / drusus also had like. coherent plans. they Knew what they wanted to do w rome
#catilina seemed to have had zero Actual Longterm Plans other than like. abolish debt + maybe get a sexy proconsular province
#and the wildest thing is like. if he really wanted debt relief legislation. why the fuck did he not just bribe a tribune
#catiline is SO weird to me as a rare 'popularis' who had absolutely nothing to do w the tribunate Ever
#dare i say sullacore??????
#anyway. off topic but if you had not guessed. he is my blorbo. but yea catiline did nothing wrong hashtag team catilina
#horrible horrible catiline. wow!
#beeps
