Catón el Joven

politician

Catón el Joven, also known as Cato the Younger, was a Roman statesman known for his staunch adherence to traditional Roman values and his opposition to Julius Caesar's rise to power. A member of the Stoic school of philosophy, Catón was a prominent figure in the late Roman Republic and is often remembered for his moral integrity and commitment to the Republic's ideals. He famously resisted the corruption and tyranny he perceived in the political landscape of his time, and after his defeat in the civil war, he took his own life rather than live under Caesar's rule. His legacy endures as a symbol of resistance against autocracy and a champion of republicanism.
