Who did Cato join during the civil war?

  • Marc Antony

  • Octavian

  • Brutus

  • Pompey

Answer

Pompey was the leader Cato joined during the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey. As a staunch supporter of traditional Republican values, Cato saw Caesar's rise to power as a threat to the Republic and its institutions. He believed that Caesar's actions, such as defying the Senate and crossing the Rubicon River with his army, were unlawful and jeopardized the balance of power in Rome.
