How well do you know Gaius Valerius Catullus, Ancient Rome's most notorious scandal-monger, filthsmith and lovelorn wretch? Impress your friends by having his muckiest quotes and most stinging jibes to hand at all times! In this customisable handbook, you'll find him at his most sexy, tender, savage and scurrilous, translated in myriad ways by Sidekick Books' many talented scribes. Catullus is seven genres; emoji Catullus; Catullus in Scots; poems sculpted into sex positions - and pages for you, the reader, to fill in, in your own obsene fashion.
