Catiline: His Conspiracy is a Jacobean tragedy written by Ben Jonson. It is one of the two Roman tragedies that Jonson hoped would cement his dramatic achievement and reputation, the other being Sejanus: His Fall (1603).
Catiline was first performed in 1611 by the King's Men. The cast included Richard Burbage, John Heminges, Alexander Cooke, Henry Condell, John Lowin, John Underwood, William Ostler, Nicholas Tooley, Richard Robinson, and William Ecclestone.
The play was first printed in the 1616 folio of Jonson's works.
As its title indicates, the play recounts the story of Lucius Sergius Catilina, anglisized to Catiline, the Roman politician and conspirator of the first century BC.
