Catiline

Catiline (c. 108 BC – 62 BC), full name Lucius Sergius Catilina, was a Roman patrician, an able man, but unscrupulously ambitious. Frustrated in his ambitious designs, he formed a conspiracy against the State, which was discovered and exposed by Cicero, a discovery which obliged him to leave the city. He tried to stir up hostility outside. This too being discovered by Cicero, an army was sent against him, when an engagement ensued, in which, fighting desperately, he was slain.
