Was waren Catilinas Gründe für die Verschwörung?
Durch seine Verwehrung des Amtes kann ich mir vorstellen, dass er nun dies einfach als einzigen Weg ansah, an die Macht zu kommen.
Doch gab es noch weitere Gründe für diese Entscheidung? Hatte Catilina vielleicht irgendwelche Vorbilder?
Vielen Dank!
Catilina was a power-own man who used every opportunity to get to power.
Just as a handlanger of Sulla Dictator 82-79 BC, he gained experience and wealth to expand his position of power. He didn’t scare back from murders in the closest family circle.
During the end of the Roman Republic, it became more and more expensive. Corruption was a highlight. Catilina was no exception with his behaviour. He played high and lost everything.
The winners write the story and Catilina went as a loser. Very detailed is currently the text about him on Wikipedia https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_Sergius_Catilina and even more detailed about his conspiracy https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catilinarian_Verschw%C3%B6rung
