The Poems and Fragments of Catullus by Gaius Valerius Catullus
QR code
"The Poems and Fragments of Catullus" by Gaius Valerius Catullus is a collection of poetry written between 62 and 54 BC. This compilation of approximately 113 poems spans diverse forms—from sharp epigrams and satirical lampoons to lengthy works on marriage. Most famous are Catullus's passionate verses about his beloved Lesbia. The collection survived antiquity through a single manuscript from Verona, now lost, though three medieval copies preserve these vivid expressions of love,
anger, and wit from the final years of the Roman Republic. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
