M. quoque Porcium Catonem admiratio fortis ac sincerae vitae adeo venerabilem senatui fecit ut cum invito C. Caesare consule adversus publicanos dicendo in curia diem traheret et ob id iussu eius a lictore in carcerem duceretur, universus senatus illum sequi non dubitaret.
Admiration of his brave and unblemished life made M. Porcius Cato venerable to the senate. So much so that when he was filibustering in the house against the tax farmers contrary to the wishes of Consul C. Caesar and in consequence was led to prison by a lictor on Caesars orders, the entire senate followed him without hesitation.
