Old talk page post
I removed the Image:Cato.jpeg because its not Cato the younger, a man who died 40 something, known by his beeked nose and tall neck. I wonder if its Cato the elder. [[:pt:Usuário:Muriel Gottrop|muriel@pt]] 15:29, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Removal
I have just deleted the final paragraph. I reread the article and it is extremely clear that an individual who did either no or very little research inserted the final paragraph. I don't normally believe in deleting any information. However, there were no facts placed in the entire run-on paragraph, just one individual's ranting opinion.

To Whomever wrote that paragraph

Sorry that I had to delete it. This is not supposed to be a website for posting your opinions. thats what the discussion page is for. If there are any facts you would like to post then we welcome it. Otherwise keep it to the discussion page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CatoMoroni (talk • contribs) 19:08, 07 June 2006 (UTC)

Just a quick note...
I would recommend that everybody take a look at Christain Meier's Caesar, which takes a good long look at the anomosity between Cato and Caesar; also, Syme's 'A Roman Post-Mortem' (a short article presented in the 1950s and published in his Roman Papers I). I did my Ph.D thesis on Cato the Younger (Oxford and UCD) last year and there are alot of misconceptions, etc., but the general ideas in the above article are correct (although I have been changing a little, adding to the bibliography, etc). I've also given a few papers on Cato at various conferences in the UK, am doing further research on how Imperial authors viewed the figures of the late Republic, and have been approached to write a history of the late Republic - so watch this space.

BBC Documentary said something else
"Caesar had Scipio and all his troops slaughtered upon their surrender." However, in the BBC Documentary, The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, it said that Caesar had forgiven Scipio and later, he was mysteriously murdered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.23.250 (talk • contribs) 03:09, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Legacy of Cato the Younger
Will probably move the long legacy section to a new article at Legacy of Cato the Younger. Ifly6 (talk) 18:07, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
