| SALLUST |
| Fragments of the Histories. Letters to Caesar |
| Edited and Translated by John T. Ramsey |
 |
The Histories of Sallust (86–35 BCE), while fragmentary, provide invaluable information about a crucial period of history from 78 to around 67 BCE. In this volume, John T. Ramsey has freshly edited the Histories and the two pseudo-Sallustian Letters to Caesar, completing the Loeb Classical Library edition of his works. |
| STATIUS |

| Edited and Translated by D. R. Shackleton Bailey |
| With Corrections by Christopher A. Parrott |
 |
Statius’s Silvae, thirty-two occasional poems, were written probably between 89 and 96 CE. The verse is light in touch, with a distinct pictorial quality. D. R. Shackleton Bailey’s edition, which replaced the earlier Loeb Classical Library edition by J. H. Mozley, is now reissued with corrections by Christopher A. Parrott. |

| SALLUST |
| The War with Catiline. The War with Jugurtha |
| Revised by John T. Ramsey |
 |
Sallust's two extant monographs take as their theme the moral and political decline of Rome, one on the conspiracy of Catiline and the other on the war with Jugurtha. Although Sallust is decidedly unsubtle and partisan in analyzing people and events, his works are important and significantly influenced later historians, notably Tacitus. |
| XENOPHON |
| Memorabilia. Oeconomicus. Symposium. Apology |
| Revised by Jeffrey Henderson |
 |
In Memorabilia and in Oeconomicus, a dialogue about household management, we see the philosopher Socrates through the eyes of his associate, Xenophon. In the Symposium, we obtain insight on life in Athens. Xenophon’s Apology is an interesting complement to Plato’s account of Socrates’s defense at his trial. |
