1 Peter Green had fun translating Catullus 29 lampooning Mamurra (and Caesar): “O military Supremo, was this then your aim, / While you were in that final island of the west, / To let this shagged-out prick, your crony, chomp his way / Through twenty million, maybe thirty?” In another poem, Catullus 11, this vignette of travel to the ends of the earth shows awareness of C.’s adventures in 55: “or toil across high-towering Alpine passes / to visit the monuments of mighty Caesar, / the Gaulish Rhine, those rude back-of-beyonders / the woad-dyed Britons.”
