Sallust's Histories and Triumviral Historiography explores the historiographical innovations of the first century Roman historian Sallust, focusing on the fragmentary Histories, an account of the turbulent years after the death of the dictator Sulla. The Histories were written during the violent transition from republic to empire, when Rome's political problems seemed insoluble and its morals hopelessly decayed. The ruling triumvirate of Octavian, Mark Antony, and Lepidus created a false sense of hope for the future, relentlessly insisting that they were bringing peace to the republic. The Histories address the challenges posed to historians by both civil war and authoritarian rule. What does it mean, Sallust asks, to write history under a regime that so skillfully manipulates or even replaces facts with a more favorable narrative? Historiography needed a new purpose to remain relevant and useful in the triumviral world. In the Histories, Sallust adopts an analogical method of historiography that enables him to confront contemporary issues under the pretext of historical narrative. The allusive Histories challenge Sallust's audience to parse and analyze history as it is being "written" by the actors themselves and to interrogate the relationship between words and deeds.The first monograph in any language on the Histories, this book offers comprehensive reading of Sallust's third and final work, featuring discussion of a wide selection of fragments beyond the speech and letters, set-pieces that have generally been studied in isolation. It offers a valuable resource for academics and postgraduates working on ancient historiography and Latin literature more generally; it will also be of interest to ancient historians working on the late Roman Republic. With English translations of all Greek and Latin passages, this book will also be useful for undergraduate and graduate courses on historiography, Latin literature, and Roman history.

Les livres 78, 79 et 80 sont les trois derniers livres de l'Histoire romaine de Cassius Dion. Ils couvrent les années 216 à 229, soit la fin du règne de Caracalla, les règnes de Macrin et d'Élagabal et le début du règne de Sévère Alexandre, empereurs pour le moins controversés. Et Cassius Dion « fait l'histoire » de cette période à un double titre : non seulement en tant qu'auteur, mais en tant qu'acteur, au sommet de l'État, aux côtés des empereurs. Ces livres sont d'autant plus passionnants que non seulement ils constituent un témoignage de premier ordre sur les quatre règnes, mais ils permettent en outre, par leur aspect autobiographique, de reconstituer la carrière de Cassius Dion. Les livres 78, 79 et 80 ont été transmis par la tradition indirecte, comme la majeure partie de l'Histoire romaine, c'est-à-dire les livres 1 à 35 et 61 à 80 (seuls les livres 36 à 60 sont transmis par la tradition directe). Mais, chose unique parmi les 55 livres de la tradition indirecte, il existe un morceau de tradition directe, qui couvre presque tout le livre 78 et le début du livre 79. Le témoin, le Vaticanus gr. 1288, est exceptionnel : il s'agit d'un manuscrit de parchemin, en onciales, datant de la fin du Ve siècle, soit environ deux siècles et demi seulement après la rédaction de l'œuvre, fait rarissime dans la transmission des textes anciens. Mais il est gravement mutilé, ce qui rend son édition particulièrement délicate.
