Carthago Delenda Est

Carthago Delenda Est is available on SoundCloud and Bandcamp Cato the Elder would have considered himself a man of the people. Born of plebian stock, though distinguished through their generational military service, he came from simple farmers. He himself worked the land alongside his laborers between serving in the Punic Wars, the horrors of which would later influence his famous speeches. "Carthago delenda est..." Carthage must be destroyed. It should be noted that he also fought during his political career for conservativism and the Roman culture&dominance over all others. He argued that the virtues of a Roman farmer should dictate the entirety of society. He shunned the influence of Hellenism, called in fear for widespread destruction, and used all of it for his personal political gain. Xenophobia at it&finest. Cato and men like him are neither new nor old. They are ever present where society and rule of law rear their ugly heads.
