	Cato the Elder
		Marcus Porcius Cato (234 - 149 BC), Roman statesman, surnamed "The Censor," Sapiens, Priscus, or Major (the Elder), to distinguish him from Cato of Utica[?], was born at Tusculum.
		Cato's enmity dated from the African campaign when he quarrelled with Scipio for his lavish distribution of the spoil amongst the troops, and his general luxury and extravagance.
		Cato had, however, a more serious task to perform in opposing the spread of the new Hellenic culture which threatened to destroy the rugged simplicity of the conventional Roman type.

		Marcus cato, we are told, was born at Tusculum, though (till he betook himself to civil and military affairs) he lived and was bred up in the country of the Sabines, where his father's estate lay.
		Cato was sent to the Carthaginians and Masinissa, King of Numidia, who were at war with one another, to know the cause of their difference.
		Cato Salonius died when he was praetor, but his son Marcus was afterwards consul, and he was grandfather of Cato the philosopher, who for virtue and renown was one of the most eminent personages of his time.

	Cato the Elder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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.
		Cato was hated for his pedantic bigotry, but respected as an able politician and good orator.
		Cato himself then frequented a certain slave girl, who came to see him every evening in his room, but his son felt that this carrying-on was rather shocking in a house where there was a young bride, his wife.

	All About Kato The Elder
		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.
		Cato was instrumental in leading to Rome’s attack on Carthage, that led to the beginning of the Third Punic War that began in 149 BC, the year of Cato’s death, and ended in 146 BC with Carthage being burnt to the ground and salt being plowed into its soil.
		Cato was not ignorant of Greek as a grown man since he negotiated with Greeks in law and business, but it was not until he was much older, possibly towards the end of his life, that he began to study Greek literature and culture and acknowledge his admiration and respect for it.

	Prayers and Rituals from Cato's 'De Agricultura'
		Cato includes a number of rituals along with his other advice, making it clear that these were a normal part of the good day-to-day management of a farm, and allowing us to see the sorts of formulas which would be followed in this kind of private religious activity.
		Although Cato himself claimed to hold literary composition in contempt, we must remember that his education meant that the rustic appearance of the language in the De Agricultura is to an extent a literary artifice in itself.
		Although the prayers which Cato preserves are intended for use on a farm, they deal with universal concerns, such as the success of enterprises, the protection of the family and the proper harmony between men and gods, and can thus be readily adapted for a number of modern uses.

		Cato himself claims that the Athenians were greatly impressed by the speed and the concision of his address, for the interpreter took a long time and great many words to communicate what he expressed briefly, and in general he concludes that the Greeks speak from the lips, but the Romans from the heart.
		However, Cato did not think it right, so he tells us, that his son should be scolded or have his ears pulled by a slave, if he were slow to learn, and still less that he should be indebted to his slave in such a vital matter as his education.
		Cato did not take this action, as some people believe, out of personal animosity towards [the philosophers], but rather because he was opposed on principle to the study of philosophy, and because his patriotic fervor made him regard the whole of Greek culture and its methods of education with contempt.

		Cato the Elder's life, from the 230s to 149 BC, spanned one of the most important phases in the development of the Roman Republic -- the period that ran from the second war with Carthage to the great post-war changes in Roman and Italian society and economy.
