About Cato the Younger

Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis, also known as Cato the Younger, was an influential conservative Roman senator during the late Republic. A staunch advocate for liberty and the preservation of the Republic's principles, he dedicated himself to protecting the traditional Roman values he believed were in decline. A noted orator and a follower of Stoicism, his scrupulous honesty and professed respect for tradition gave him a political following which he mobilised against powerful generals of his day, including Julius Caesar and Pompey.
