 Cato the Elder at AllExperts
Cato the Elder was born at Tusculum, a municipal town of Latium, to which his ancestors had belonged for some generations.
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.
When he had reduced the whole area of land between the river Iberus and the Pyrenees to a hollow, resentful, and temporary obedience, he turned his attention to administrative reforms, and increased the revenues of the province by improvements in the working of the iron and silver mines.

 Title origins
The great elaboration of titles at Sukur and their distribution among the kin groups is indicative of their use as an integrative device (David and Sterner 1996).
In cases where the title holder is a member of the chief's household (e.g., Tlësuku, junior Tlufu, and apparently Midala), the appointee has to be willing if necessary to move to live close to the chief.
We suspect that the titles and the position of influence accruing to the office holder by virtue both of the title and of his seniority within his clan may have been, for the most part, their own reward.
