	Encyclopedia: Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Marcus Porcius Cato Uticencis (95 BC-46 BC), known as Cato the younger to distinguish him from his great-grandfather Cato the Elder, was a Roman politician and statesman, and a follower of the Stoic philosophy.
		He retired from the forum, leaving Caesar with complete control over the consulship, although he occasionally issued complaints against Caesar, which led to attacks on his house from Caesar's supporters, the populares.
		For the rest of the year, the populares joked that the two consuls were really "Julius and Caesar." Bibulus spent the remainder of his term sequestered in his house where he claimed he was watching for omens, an act that technically invalidated all legislation passed that year.
