CATULLUS, GAIUS VALERIUS (?84-54 B.C.), the greatest lyric poet of Rome.

Valerius Catullus Messalinus, a _delator_ in the reign of Domitian,
mentioned in the fourth satire of Juvenal (l. 113):--
"Et cum mortifero prudens Veiento Catullo."
Inscriptions show, further, that _Valerius_ was a common name in the
native province of Catullus, and belonged to other inhabitants of Verona
besides the poet and his family (Schwabe, _Quaestiones Catullianae_, p.
