When the news was brought that Caesar had taken Arminium, and was advancing with his army towards Rome, the people in general, and even Pompey, cast their eyes upon Cato, as on the only person who had foreseen the original designs of Caesar.

Pompey answered, that Cato had indeed been a better prophet, but that he had himself acted a more friendly part. Cato then advised the senate to put everything into the hands of Pompey.
