Its very narrowness and obstinacy of view was in its favor. Cato (of Utica) was typically Roman, and by his faults and limitations as much as his backbone of virtue became for a time the ideal of Roman Stoicism/' At a time when there was no belief or doc- trine which offered support to men in their hour of trial, the doctrines taught by the Stoics were a source of consolation and a guide in the vicissitudes of life, to many of the great philosophers, statesmen, and even emperors of Rome. In Rom...e there was a universal corruption and depravity of manners. The religion of the time had not the least influ- ence towards exciting or nourishing solid and true virtue in the minds of men. It had but little if any influence on man's moral nature, and so long as there was a ceremonial obedi- 90 ROMAN STOICISM ence, there was no occasion to look for any spiritual influence beyond. The devout man was he who punctually performed his reli- gious obligations, who was pious according to law. It was only the philosophers who could comprehend the one God ; the imaginations of the uneducated were only engaged with the numerous powers and energies flowing forth from that one Highest Being.
