Synopsis
Excerpt from Cicero, Vol. 1: Cato Maior De Senectute; Edited, With Notes
Cicero's natural abilities and indefatigable industry en sured his political advancement to the aedileship and to the praetorship (b. C. 66) but he felt that in order to attain the consulship he required party support against the jealousy of the great families, who regarded this, the greatest prize of politics, as the especial property of the nobles.
