"The Carmina of Caius Valerius Catullus" by Gaius Valerius Catullus is a collection of poetry written between 62 and 54 BC. This surviving work comprises approximately 113 poems ranging from brief epigrams and sharp-tongued lampoons to nine longer pieces exploring themes of marriage. Most celebrated are the passionate verses addressed to "Lesbia," the poet's enigmatic lover. The collection captures Roman life during the Republic's final years through intimate personal expression, biting wit, and emotional intensity that has captivated readers across millennia.
