Talk:Catiline Orations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The link at the bottom: "The four Cataline Orations in Latin, in a single text file" Shouldn't that be "... Catiline .."?
Yes, it's a common mistake/typo (to type cataline instead of catiline)Papadilos 07:43, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] broken link
the UAH link to the Catiline Orations is broken as of 19 February 2006. -- Richard Lee (rlee@glasscity.net)
[edit] shenanigans
"Cicero in self-righteous indignation issued a law prohibiting shenanigans of this kind."
I am troubled by more than the misplaced folksiness of 'shenanigans'. Bribery was far from unusual in Roman electoral politics; this article makes it sound like a particularly Catilinarian crime.
Could we have a reference for this law, please? TheOldOligarch 23:58, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3 orations only described in article.
The links in the bottom of the article have four orations, but our article only describes three. Would be interesting if the contents of the fourth could be at least briefly summarised. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 12:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- I have replaced the previous section about the fourth argument, sice it was a cut-and-paste, see [[1]]. Asav 08:54, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Catiline Page
The dichotomy between the anti-Catiline, pro-Cicero bias of this page and the pro-Catiline, anti-Cicero bias of the 'Catiline' page is a tad depressing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.8.98 (talk) 10:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
