The poetry of Gaius Valerius Catullus was written towards the end of the Roman Republic. It describes the Epicurean lifestyle of the poet and his friends, as well as, most famously, his love for the woman he calls Lesbia.Catullus' poems have been preserved in an anthology of 116 carmina (three of which are now considered spurious 18, 19 and 20 although the numbering has been retained), which can be divided into three formal parts: sixty short poems in varying metres, called polymetra, eight longer poems, and forty-eight epigrams. Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
