Stoic of the Republic · 95–46 BC
The Stoic Who Defied Caesar
Cato the Younger was the great-grandson of Cato the Elder, the stern censor of the second century BC. He studied Stoic philosophy as a young man and, according to Plutarch, trained himself to go bareheaded in heat and cold and often went out without shoes. In 63 BC, as tribune-elect, he spoke in the Senate for the execution of the Catilinarian conspirators, and the historian Sallust gives him a famous speech answering Caesar's plea for leniency.
Through the 50s BC he fought the alliance of Pompey, Crassus and Caesar at every turn. When civil war came in 49 BC he sided with Pompey, and Plutarch says that from then on he neither cut his hair nor shaved, in mourning for the Republic. After the defeat at Thapsus in April 46 BC he held the city of Utica, saw the senators who wished to leave safely onto ships, and then died by his own hand. Caesar is said to have remarked that he begrudged Cato his death, as Cato had begrudged him the chance to spare his life.
Seneca held Cato up as the Stoic wise man in action, and centuries later Joseph Addison's play Cato was a favorite of George Washington.
The piece
The portrait shows him in middle age, clean-shaven, in the fine cross-hatched line of an old engraving. No ancient portrait of Cato is securely identified, so the likeness is imagined in the manner of Republican portrait busts: lined cheeks, close-cropped hair and a gaze fixed on something off to the left.
