Marcus Porcius Cato, Censorius

  • Also Known As: Cato the Elder

Marcus Porcius Cato, known as Cato the Elder or Cato Censorius, stands as one of the defining figures of the Roman Republic. A statesman, soldier, and moralist, he championed traditional Roman virtues and left a lasting mark through his writings, most notably "De agri cultura", the earliest surviving Latin prose treatise. His work preserves practical agricultural knowledge and even records early Roman recipes such as globi, offering a rare glimpse into everyday life in the Republic. - AsNotedIn
