About Cato the Elder
Cato the Elder, born Marcus Porcius Cato in 234 BC, was a prominent Roman statesman, orator, and historian recognized for his staunch advocacy of traditional Roman values and agrarian life. As a military leader and a censor, he played a significant role in shaping Roman politics and social norms, famously concluding his speeches with the phrase "Carthago delenda est" (Carthage must be destroyed), underscoring his fervent opposition to Carthage. Cato is also remembered for his literary contributions, particularly his work "De Agri Cultura," which is one of the earliest examples of Latin prose.
