description: "A Roman patrician who tried to seize power through conspiracy when elections wouldn't deliver, Catiline's failed coup in 63 BC turned his name into shorthand for treason. He died sword in hand at the head of a rebel army, and Cicero dined out on stopping him for the rest of his career."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 108 BC to an old patrician family, Lucius Sergius Catilina made his fortune under Sulla's bloody proscriptions in the 80s BC, profiting as political enemies were liquidated. He served as praetor and governor of Africa from 67 to 66 BC, then returned to face corruption charges that he beat with help from powerful friends. Twice denied the consulship in 64 and 63 BC, he assembled a coalition of Sullan veterans, stalled senators, and rural poor for an armed takeover. Crassus tipped Cicero in October 63 BC; by November the evidence pointed to Catiline, who fled Rome to join his uprising in Etruria. In January 62 BC he met republican forces at Pistoria in Tuscany, fought, and was killed along with his army. Sallust later cast him as both agent and symptom of the Republic's rot, a ravaged mind in a ravaged time.
