Cato the Younger
Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis (95-46 BCE), great-grandson of Cato the Censor, was the most principled and uncompromising senator of the late Roman Republic. A devoted Stoic who modeled his life on Greek philosophy, he became the chief parliamentary opponent of Julius Caesar and the living symbol of Republican virtue. His suicide at Utica in 46 BCE rather than accept Caesar's pardon made him a Stoic martyr whose image shaped Western ideas of political freedom for two millennia.
