Catiline (108 - 62 BC) was a Roman politician who tried to overthrow the Roman Republic.
He was stopped however, by [[Cicero]], who was consul at the time, in 63 BC.
Cicero's famous speech 'de Catilina' forced Catilina to flee the city. A few months later he and his followers were killed by the Roman army.
