The Catilinarian conspirators before the Senate. they included Lucius Sergius Catilina (108–62 BCE), Roman Senator of the 1st century BC who devised the plot with the help of a group of aristocrats and disaffected veterans, to overthrow the Roman Republic in 63 BC. Cicero exposed the plot, which forced Catiline to flee from Rome. The five conspirators were condemned to death but fearing that other conspirators might try to free them, Cicero had them strangled in the Tullianum immediately and an end was made to the conspiracy in Rome.

Cicero exposed the plot, which forced Catiline to flee from Rome. The five conspirators were condemned to death without a trial despite an eloquent protest by Julius that other conspirators might try to free them, Cicero had them strangled in the Tullianum immediately. After the executions, he announced to a crowd gathering in the Forum what had occurred. Thus, an end was made to the conspiracy in Rome.
