The year is 147 B.C., I was just elected consul despite the customary cursus honorum, and will soon be going to Carthage on a military campaign.

  1. Frenemy request: I am Cato the Elder, a man of old ways. You are Scipio, a man of luxuries. Be my friend, because we fight against Carthage and Hannibal, and I fought in the Second Punic War and influenced the Third...yet be my enemy, because I oppose Hellenistic ways, and you are of the Hellenistic Invasion.
    Carthago delenda est!
