Introduction
As implied on UShistory.org, the Roman political life was based on the established Roman Republic (1). For many centuries already, multiple countries have applied the Roman republic governing system when it comes to running their governmental affairs, as also stated on UShistory.org (1). The United States government partially modeled its governmental system after the Roman republic, as stated on the same website, as well (1). The establishment of the Roman republic primarily came about after the uprising for the overthrow of the Etruscan colonizers in Rome occurred, as stated on UShistory.org (2). Military commands and Roman armies were the people who were capable of participating in the mentioned uprising activity. Therefore, military commands and Roman armies were the sole influencers in the successful establishment of the Roman republic.

As such, Catiline exerted a major influence on the development of war during the overthrow uprising activity against the colonizers in Rome. At a young age, Cataline realized the importance of aggressiveness in being able to be successfully free, socially and economically speaking. Cataline was determined to fight in the war in Rome, regardless of his potential vulnerabilities in fighting due to his young age. Cataline had the mindset that there was nothing he should be able to accomplish that he had desired to accomplish, even though he was very young. Cataline's determination and motivation eventually flourished and prospered. The Roman conspirator was able to bring honor to Rome after he was able to help overthrow the colonizers in the country successfully. Cataline was a living example of hope and triumph. Many other aspiring warriors and soldiers in Rome should start looking up to Cataline as their role model after th...
