[edit] Cato

Thanks for your message, Pichote. No, I don't want to revert it. It's good material, though the 19th century English took me aback at first! I'm sure Cato would have approved of some stirring old-fashioned language, especially in his praise. Getting it all in there, with the references too, was an excellent step.

Thanks again for your remarks, Andrew. I will try to update the old-fashioned vocabulary (to the current standards) of Mr. Smith. -- Pichote 20:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

You asked about the "bust of Cato", Pichote. No, I don't know where it is, or what the authority is for identifying it as Cato! I wish I did. On the image page the linked website uses the photo but doesn't say it's Cato, and actually has another bust, looking quite different, which they do identify as Cato.

Thank you very much for the information, Andrew. I usually watch the pages where I leave a message so you really would not need to post your answer in my talk page for me to notice it. :) Currently the indicia show that the bust is either in the British Museum of London or the Musei Capitolini of Rome... But is it really of Cato? Well, I will try to find out it. -- Pichote 09:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
