  Cato the Elder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cato the Elder, their famous descendant, at the beginning of his career in Rome, was regarded as a novus homo, and the feeling of his unsatisfactory position, working along with the self-awareness of inherent superiority, contributed to exasperate and stimulate his ambitious soul.
Cato was born in 234 BC, in the year before the first consulship of Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, and died at the age of 85, in the consulship of Lucius Marcius Censorinus and Manius Manilius.

 Cato: Introduction
Marcus Porcius Cato was born in 234 bc in Tusculum, a self-governing town of Latium (Lazio) fifteen miles south of Rome.
Cato’s task as consul was to command the Roman army in the northeastern half of the vast new territory of Spain, captured from the Carthaginians a few years before but almost continually in revolt.
Cato’s last major contribution to Roman public affairs was to urge war against Carthage, the ‘Third Punic War’ as it is now known — a war that was eventually declared in his lifetime and ended, after his death, with the complete destruction of Rome’s great rival.
