File talk:Marco Porcio Caton Major.jpg

As a Classical archaeologist, I can assure you that this portrait can in no way be associated with Cato the Elder. To attribute it to him is purely arbitrary. Therefore, it should be removed from the "Cato_the_Elder" and "Carthago_delenda_est" pages, and the caption on this page should be changed, too. It should be replaced with the other attribution given here: "Portrait of a Roman, marble, lifesize, c. 80 B.C.", and the other one deleted. It's not a matter of offering different attributions; if you give a choice of attributions, they must be meaningful. If I now said: "This is a portrait of, say, Cincinnatus (another Roman politician of the Republican era)", it would be as arbitrary as saying that it represents Cato Maior.
