If I remember correctly, one of the ancient authors/sources mentions that Cato often wore black, I think as a method of "mourning" the current status quo of the Roman state. Not surprising for someone who was (at least apparently) so dedicated to the republican ideals, given the amount of corruption that occurred in his day.

Anyone remember which author it was?
