Cato the Younger

Cato the Younger (95–46 BC) was a Roman senator known for his strong principles and commitment to republican values. He staunchly opposed Julius Caesar's rise to power, advocating for the Senate and the traditional Roman republic rather than monarchy. Cato was admired for his integrity, discipline, and dedication to duty, often risking his safety to stand by his beliefs. His resistance ultimately contributed to his tragic end when he chose to commit suicide rather than live under Caesar’s rule, symbolizing unwavering commitment to Rome’s constitution and moral integrity.
