Cato the Elder (234–149 BC) was a significant figure in the Roman Republic, celebrated for his unwavering support of traditional Roman values. A fierce opponent of Hellenistic influence, he championed Roman simplicity and frugality. Notably, Cato is often remembered for his adamant insistence on the threat of Carthage, frequently concluding his speeches with the phrase "Carthago delenda est" ("Carthage must be destroyed"), which ultimately came to fruition in the Third Punic War.
