Cato was born of plebeian stock and fought as a military tribune in the Second Punic War. His oratorical and legal skills and his rigid morality attracted the notice of the patrician Lucius Valerius Flaccus, who helped him begin a political career at Rome.
Brutus was the son of Caesarâs mistress Servilia (some mistakenly believed he was Caesarâs son) and married to the Roman orator Catoâs daughter Portia.
