In this episode: The burning of the Senate house after Clodius' murder in 52 BCE Cato's failed bid for consulship and his hardline stance against Caesar The outbreak of civil war and Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon Cato's final days and dramatic suicide A tale of principle and paradox, Cato's resolute stand for Republican values helped precipitate its own downfall. His death at Utica - dramatic, philosophical, and on his own terms - marked not just the end of his life but symbolically, the end of the Roman Republic itself.
