Catline Exercise One
Build your understanding of Cicero and Catiline as leaders by making a chart for each one that compares (1) their birth and background, (2) their roles and offices in the Roman Republic, (3) their age, (4) what they were known for, and (5) any other points of comparison you notice.
For reference watch this video on the Political Structure of the Roman Republic and this video on Catiline's Conspiracy. Also watch a modern adaptation of Catiline’s Conspiracy from college students (run-time 5:45).
Finally, read “Cicero & The Catiline Conspiracy” and “The Conspiracy of Catiline.” Each source will provide similar information but note also the differences.
Recommended time: 1:00
