Lorsqu’il ecrit le Cato Maior, au debut de l’an – 44, a l’heure ou la Republique agonisante s’apprete a succomber sous les dagues des assassins de Cesar, Ciceron eprouve cruellement le poids des ans (il a soixante-deux ans). Il imagine un court dialogue philosophique qu’il situe a l’epoque glorieuse de Rome, en – 150. Les jeunes Scipion Emilien et Laelius prennent du vieux et toujours vigoureux Caton (quatre-vingt-quatre ans) une lecon de vie. Les reflexions pretees a l’ancien censeur de – 184 agissent sur l’auteur de ce traite Sur la vieillesse comme un elixir de jouvence et une consolation dans ses malheurs personnels et ses deceptions politiques. Des propos forts et clairs, a l’image du caractere bien trempe du personnage principal pour conjurer la peur de vieillir.
