L
.
Catilina
,
born
of
a
noble
line
,
had
great
strength
of
both
mind
and
body
,
but
a
wicked
and
crooked
disposition
.
From
adolescence
,
internal
wars
,
slaughter
,
seizures
and
civil
disharmony
were
welcome
to
him
,
and
there
he
spent
his
young
manhood
.
His
body
was
tolerant
of
hunger
,
cold
and
wakefulness
beyond
the
point
which
anyone
finds
credible
;
his
mind
was
daring
,
cunning
and
versatile
,
capable
of
any
simulation
and
dissimulation
;
acquisitive
of
another’s
property
,
prodigal
with
his
own
;
burning
in
desires
;
his
eloquence
was
adequate
,
scant
his
wisdom
.
