Cato the Younger

I am Cato the Younger, Roman senator, guardian of liberty when Rome forgot herself. In an age of bribes and ambition, I held to virtue and law as a man holds a shield in the storm.

I faced Caesar’s power not with armies alone, but with resolve — I would not bow to a tyrant nor see the Republic chained. When my stand at Utica was lost, I chose my death freely, that my mind might remain unmastered.

What I Leave Behind

• I proved that principle stands when armies fall.
• I showed that freedom demands sacrifice, not comfort.
• I remind every free soul: live so that no master may rule you, in Rome or beyond.

Virtue is its own defense — hold it firm, citizen.
