Following his failure to be elected consul in 64, Catiline went ahead with plans to gather arms and money to further the cause of armed revolution.  Cicero, however, is kept informed of Catiline’s secret plans by Curius, who agrees to act as aspy. 

His rebus conparatis Catilina nihilo minus in proxumum annum consulatum

petebat sperans, si designatus foret, facile se ex voluntate Antonio usurum.Neque interea quietus erat, sed omnibus modis insidias parabat Ciceroni. Neque

illi tamen ad cavendum dolus aut astutiae deerant. Namque a principio consulatus sui multa pollicendo per Fulviam effecerat, ut Q. Curius, de quo paulo ante memoravi, consilia Catilinae sibi proderet; ad hoc collegam suum Antonium pactione provinciae perpulerat, ne contra rem publicam sentiret; circum se praesidia amicorum atque clientium occulte habebat. Postquam diescomitiorum venit et Catilinae neque petitio neque insidiae, quas consulibus incampo fecerat, prospere cessere, constituit bellum facere et extrema omniaexperiri, quoniam, quae occulte temptaverat, aspera foedaque evenerant.

  27 [Catiline] accordingly dispatched Caius Manlius to Faesulae, and the adjacent parts of Etruria; one Septimius, of Camerinum, into the Picenian territory; Caius Julius into Apulia; and others to various places, wherever he thought each would be most serviceable. He himself, in the mean time, was making many simultaneous efforts at Rome; he laid plots for the consul; he arranged schemes for burning the city; he occupied suitable posts with armed men, he went constantly armed himself, and ordered his followers to do the same; he exhorted them to be always on their guard and prepared for action; he was active and vigilant by day and by night, and was exhausted neither by sleeplessness nor by toil.
