Tiber (Italy) (search for this): text comm, poem 55
e ; Mart. 1.96.1 si non molestum est teque non piget … dicas. tenebrae, lurking-place; cf. Prop. 4.15.17 saepe illam immundis passa est habitare tenebris. campo minore: probably so called to distinguish it from the great campus Martius; and Paulus (Fest. p.131) mentions a campus Martialis on the Caelian, where horse-races were held when the Tiber overflowed the campus Martius (cf. also Ov. Fast. 3.519ff.). This is possibly the place meant, as the search passed from it through the Circus Maximus, by the shops near the Forum (cf. Catul. 37.2n.), over the Capitoline, to Pompey's portico in the Campus Martius. There were yet other campi; cf. Prop. 3.23.6 campo quo movet illa pedes? Not. et Cur. App. I. Campi VIII., etc. On the ablative withou
Rome (Italy) (search for this): text comm, poem 55
An appeal to an otherwise unknown Camerius to disclose his whereabouts to his friend, who has been searching through Rome for him. Similar descriptions of an anxious search for a friend through the city are not wanting in the comedians; cf. Pl. Amph. 1009ff.; Pl. Epid. 196ff.; Ter. Ad. 713ff. The poem appears to be an unfinished experiment in a not very pleasant modification of the Phalaecean verse, and was perhaps, with the accompanying fraument, 58b, found among the papers of Catullus after his death and published by the original editor of the Liber. The odd verses (and also v. 8) through v. 13, and from that point the even verses, have a spondee in the second place. In 58b, however, only vv. 1 and 9 have a spondee in the second place.—Date, 55 B.C. (cf. v. 6 n.). si forte: etc. a bit of colloquial politeness; cf. Ter. Ad. 806 ausculta paucis, nisi mole
Campus Martius (Italy) (search for this): text comm, poem 55
Fast. 3.519ff.). This is possibly the place meant, as the search passed from it through the Circus Maximus, by the shops near the Forum (cf. Catul. 37.2n.), over the Capitoline, to Pompey's portico in the Campus Martius. There were yet other campi; cf. Prop. 3.23.6 campo quo movet illa pedes? Not. et Cur. App. I. Campi VIII., etc. On the ablative without in cf. Ovid and Prop. ll. cc.; Liv. 21.8.7 A.D. under Vitellius (cf. Tac. Hist. 3.72). Magni ambulatione: in the summer of 55 B.C., the year of his second consulship, Pompey threw open to the public his stone theatre on the Campus Martius, with a magnificent porticus adjoining it in the rear of the stage. He is frequently mentioned by his contemporaries under the title Magnus, conferred by Sulla in 81 for his African victories.
Cicero (Indiana, United States) (search for this): text comm, poem 55
The general character of the gesture is clear, despite the difficulty of emendation. See Crit. App. te ferre: i.e. to endure with patience your conduct. Herculi labos est: with the figure cf. Prop. 3.23.7 ubi pertuleris, quos dicit fama, labores Herculis. The genitive in -i from Greek proper names in -es is not infrequent in the earlier period and in Cicero. ubi sis futurus: where you are to be (found), that I may come thither at an appointed time and meet you. crede luci: in contrast with v. 2 tenebrae. The sportive manner of the girl (vv. 11-12) has awakened the poet's suspicions, and he is anxious to learn the truth from his friend's own lips. lacteolae: apparently not occurring again till Aus. Epi
