Abstract
The discourse about decadence in Sallust’s Bellum Catilinae. The discourse about decadence seems inscribed in the very composition of the first text of Sallust. Resting on the degeneration of ancient uirtutes, this discourse seems to emerge from a tragic composition of the text. In a historical context where Sulla’s influence is still noticeable and fortuna at work, there seems to have no possibility of catharsis for the Roman state as Sallust sees it.
