    Marcus Porcius Cato
    234 - 149 BC
    A Roman statesman whose main concern was preserving the mores (customs/morals) of earlier Romans. He was instrumental in the banishment from Rome of Scipio Africanus as well as the cult of Bacchus . He was later elected to the position of censor , the power which he used in a crusade to rid Rome of Greek influences, which he felt were subverting the Romans from their simple agrarian roots. In 195, he defeated an army of the Syrian king Antiochus III, who had attacked Rome on the advice of Hannibal In 175, he was dispatched to Carthage to settle a dispute between them and the Numidians, who had been raiding Carthaginian territory. When Cato saw the wealth of the merchant city, he became convinced that Carthage posed a continuing threat to the Roman empire. It now became his life-long ambition to see that the city was destroyed. Every speech before the Senate always ended with the same phrase, Carthago delenda est , or "Carthage must be destroyed". In 149, Cato got his wish and Rome declared war on Carthage, but he died before he could see the city destroyed.

    CATO THE ELDER
    [a.k.a. Cato the Censor] Part 2 Part 3 Cato was born Marcus Porcius Priscus but, due to his abilities as a skillful orator, he became known as Marcus Porcius Cato. The Romans called an experienced or skillful man Catus. The Latin word catus means sharp intellect. Cato was also known as Cato the Censor for his monitoring of the behavior of public officials and his desire to extricate any Greek influence or capitalist ideas and to return to conservative Roman conduct and morality. As censor, he attempted to preserve old Roman ancestral custom, mos maiorum . He supported, in 181 BC, the law against luxury, lex Orchia lex Voconia . He is also known as Cato the Censor due to his austere scrutinization of Senate officials in 184 BC and the removal of those who he considered too liberal or open to new foreign ideas, and those who were extravagant or who he felt lived luxurious, immoral lives. Earlier, Cato was sent on a diplomatic mission to Africa to negotiate peace terms between the Carthaginians and Numidian tribesmen. While visiting Carthage he became disgusted at the wasteful indulgence and luxury, the wealth and power of the merchants and their thriving international trade, and he believed that Carthage posed a threat to Rome. Cato concluded every speech that he gave with the phrase, ato served as a quaestor under Scipio Africanus in 204 BC. A quaestor was a Roman official either in charge of public funds such as a state treasurer or army paymaster, or a public judge or prosecutor in a criminal trial. He served as an aedile in 199 BC. An aedile was a Roman official who was the superintendent of public works, monitored the public grain supply, was responsible for policing the city and maintaining order, and was held accountable for providing for the public games. He was an advocate of public works and supported the construction of the

His father had earned the reputation of a brave soldier, and his great-grandfather had received a reward from the state for five horses killed under him in battle.

    (234-149 BC)
    also known as Cato the Censor The progress from quaestor to consul via offices of aedile and praetor was a natural one and came more quickly to men who had proved themselves able soldiers in times of war. However, no one man could hold the same office twice in ten years. Therefore, unless there was a provincial governor needed somewhere, some men could at the very height of their power suddenly find themselves unemployed. This befell Marcus Porcius Cato, a political leader of great integrity and determination, also known as Cato the Elder to distinguish him from his great-grandson.
    Cato the Elder (the additive 'the Elder' is used to distinguish him from his grandson who also rose to prominence in Roman history and is known as 'the Younger') was born at Tusculum in 234 BC.
    He grew up on his fathers country estate and entered military service at the tender age of 17. By 195 BC he had climbed the traditional ladder of magistrative offices to the its very pinnacle by achieving the post of consul. In this position he won a great victory in the wars in Spain.
    Then in 191 BC he retired from the army and concentrated instead on participating in debates in the senate.

    Executive summary: Roman statesman, hated Carthage Roman statesman, surnamed "the Elder" or "the Censor", to distinguish him from Cato of Utica From the date of his censorship (184) to his death in 149, Cato held no public office, but continued to distinguish himself in the senate as the persistent opponent of the new ideas. He was struck with horror, along with many other Romans of the graver stamp, at the licence of the Bacchanalian mysteries, which he attributed to the fatal influence of Greek manners; and he vehemently urged the dismissal of the philosophers (Carneades, Diogenes and Critolaus ), who came as ambassadors from Athens, on account of the dangerous nature of the views expressed by them. He had a horror of physicians, who were chiefly Greeks. He procured the release of Polybius , the historian, and his fellow prisoners, contemptuously asking whether the senate had nothing more important to do than discuss whether a few Greeks should die at Rome or in their own land. It was not until his eightieth year that he made his first acquaintance with Greek literature. Almost his last publlc act was to urge his countrymen to the Third Punic War and the destruction of Carthage. In 157 he was one of the deputies sent to Carthage to arbitrate between the Carthaginians and Massinissa, king of Numidia. The mission was unsuccessful and the commissioners returned home. But Cato was so struck by the evidences of Carthaginian prosperity that he was convinced that the security of Rome depended on the annihilation of Carthage. From this time, in season and out of season, he kept repeating the cry: "Delenda est Carthago."
