«Les Catilinàries» is the oratorical work of Marcus Tullius Cicero, published in 2000 by La Magrana in paperback (136 pages, in Catalan).
In 63 BC, as consul, Cicero delivered these four speeches against Lucius Sergius Catiline, who was conspiring against the Republic with powerful support. The first, opening with the famous «Quosque tandem» and delivered in the Senate, led Catiline to flee Rome; the last, also before the Senate, resulted in his death sentence.
