Sallust was a pagan, like all of his contemporaries. There is no record of him being a member of any cult of any particular god.

How does sallust's account demonstrate the destruction of the roman ideal and the failure of the roman republic?

Sallust's account highlights the moral decay and corruption that plagued Roman society, illustrating how greed, ambition, and factionalism undermined the republican ideals of virtue and civic responsibility. Through his portrayal of figures like Catiline and the political turmoil of the time, he emphasizes the erosion of traditional values and the rise of self-interest among the ruling class. This shift ultimately led to the collapse of the republic, as the institutions designed to uphold order and justice became tools for personal gain and power struggles. Sallust's narrative serves as both a reflection on the past and a cautionary tale about the fragility of republican governance.

Who was sallust?

Gaius Sallustius Crispus, commonly known as "Sallust", was a Roman politician and historian. He was born in 86 B.C.E. (before the common era) into a wealthy family of the business class. In the early part of his career he studied politics. When he was in his thirties, he served in different positions in Rome, until his political enemies forced him from the senate. However, Julius Caesar reinstated him and because of this Sallust became a big supporter of Caesar.Sallust's political career greatly benefited from the expansion of the empire. In 46 B.C.E. he became governor of the province of Africa. But while he served there he accumulated a very large fortune and was accused of collecting his wealth by force. So he had to return to Rome and face charges for his crime, but with Caesar's help he was never convicted. Still, the scandal was serious enough for Sallust to retire from politics.Sallust then turned to writing and became a noted historian. In his writings he used different methods to narrate various historical events. Sallust's writing style greatly influenced other Roman historians but unfortunately most of his writings have been lost. In his writings Sallust pad tribute to Rome's military achievements but later on in his life he regretted that expansion had helped cause greed in the aristocracy, which had brought corruption to the country. Sallust died in 35 B.C.E.
