dont offend the king
cato, like all roman citizens, would have much to loose by directly criticizing the king. if cato had said "Julius is a pedophile and a rapist", he would have msot liekly been found on a gallows in a few hours. you have to read into it, or it might just be brown nosing. always take context into consideration.
lets assume cato is trying to be subtle.
"he was the husband of every woman and the wife of every man."
husband of every wife,
poligamist
promiscuis
wife of every man
gay
promiscuis
masochist
now, these may not be right, but they are possible. remeber, stubtlty isnt entriyl lost
