Salonia
the second wife of Cato the Censor, was the daughter of a scribe, and client of the latter, and bore the vigorous old man a son whenis he had completed his eightieth year.
This son, who was called M. Cato Salonianus, was the grandfather of Cato Uticensis. (Piut.
Cat. Maj. 84;
Gel. 13.19.)
It is stated in Hieronymus (
in Jovian. vol. iv. p. 190, ed. Paris) that the name of Cato's second wife was Actoria Paula, but the name is probably a mistake of the copyist for Aemilia Paula, who was the wife of the Censor's eldest son. (Drumann,
Geschichte Roms, vol. v. p. 148, &c.).
