Cato the Younger was a nemesis of Julius Caesar, and his sustained antagonism helped to push the Romans towards civil war. He threatened Caesar with violence, resulting in Caesar marching on Rome and hurling the Republic into a bloody civil war. However, Cato never wanted war and took his own life. By providing a new, detailed portrait of Cato, this book presents a unique narrative of the age he helped shape and inadvertently destroy.
