Скачать или смотреть Rome’s Greatest Stoic - Cato the Younger (Part I)

Step into the turbulent final decades of the Roman Republic and discover the story of Cato the Younger — the statesman whose unshakable moral code, fierce independence, and devotion to Stoic philosophy made him both admired and despised.

Orphaned young and shaped by tragedy, Cato grew up in a world of political murder, civil war, and corruption. From resisting the dictator Sulla as a teenager, to rejecting bribes from kings, to living with deliberate austerity in a culture of luxury, Cato carved a path entirely his own.

In this episode, we trace the following in part 1:

Cato's austere upbringing and Stoic training
Public stands that earned him a reputation for incorruptibility
Military service during the war against Spartacus
Personal loss that revealed the heart behind the stern exterior
How he became a living symbol of the Republic’s struggle against tyranny

Whether seen as a principled hero or a stubborn obstacle to reform, Cato’s life is a timeless lesson in integrity, courage, and the cost of standing firm.
