Part 2 of 3 of the Life of Cato the Younger. In this episode:

  • Cato confronts the rising power of Caesar and Pompey in the Senate
  • The scandalous note from Servilia that backfired on Cato
  • His principled handling of the Cyprus annexation mission
  • The formation of the First Triumvirate and Cato's resistance
  • His memorable year as Praetor and battles against corruption
  • The death of Julia and Crassus sets the stage for civil war

A story of political intrigue, street violence, and the struggle to preserve Republican institutions against the rising tide of populist strongmen. At the heart of it all stands Cato, refusing to compromise his principles even as Rome's political system crumbles around him.
