"Cato Maior de Senectute" by Marcus Tullius Cicero is an essay written in 44 BC. In this philosophical dialogue, Cicero imagines the respected statesman Cato the Elder at eighty-four, sharing his wisdom about aging with two younger friends.

He examines four common complaints about aging and argues that supposed disadvantages may be imaginary, while lost pleasures can be replaced by refined ones.
