Speaking of common conceptions, there's another axiom here: that every beginning has an end, and every end has a beginning. (Sallustius explicitly mentions the former, but his argument doesn't hold without the latter, as well.) I'm not certain how reasonable that is or not: certainly, the Christians believed otherwise: that the universe had a beginning but no end.
