Cato Maior de Senectute, or 'On Old Age,' is a philosophical dialogue by Marcus Tullius Cicero, written in 44 BC. Presented as a conversation with Cato the Elder, the work explores themes of aging, death, and the contributions of the elderly to society. Cicero’s eloquent Latin prose defends old age against common complaints, arguing that wisdom, experience, and virtuous living provide fulfillment and continued purpose in later years. This edition, intended for students of Latin, offers an accessible entry point into Cicero’s philosophical thought and provides valuable insights into Roman values and perspectives on aging. De Senectute remains a timeless exploration of the human condition and the pursuit of a meaningful life at any age.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
