Cato is famous for urging destruction of [[Carthage]], with the plea he made at the end of every speech he gave,  "Carthago delenda est", Carthage must be destroyed.  At the end of the [[Third Punic War]], Cato got his wish, as the victorious Romans destroyed the city of Carthage and sold its inhabitants into [[slavery]].
