  Catullus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
54 BCE) was one of the most influential Roman poets of the 1st century BCE.
Catullus 51 is a direct verse translation of Sappho 31, and Catullus 61 and Catullus 62 are certainly inspired by and perhaps translated directly from lost works of Sappho.
He is traditionally said to have lived from 84 BCE until 54 BCE; these dates are based on the allusions he makes in his poetry.

 orion Re: Date of Scrolls Deposit--55 BCE?
Nothing in Josephus hints at a correspondence to the "Aemilius killed" reference pre-63, whereas both in Pompey's conquest of 63 and in the year later that Aemilius was governor there is plenty of opportunity for Aemilius to have been involved in killing memorable to the writers of 4QMish(c).
So there is both a text, and some radiocarbon dates, which are not consistent with a 63 BCE deposit date for all of the scrolls at Qumran.
It is possible a 55 BCE latest date for all of the scrolls at Qumran _may_ be falsified on the basis of future radiocarbon data (I will do my best, to the extent I have any input, to attempt to falsify my own theory, i.e.

 Voices from the Past
In 55 BCE he produced his first literary work, on oratory, and then in 54 began one of his most celebrated works De Republica, a study of the republican state, which now survives only in fragments.
It was written as a dialogue set in the 120s and is an exercise in nostalgia, a lament for an idealized past when the various components of the Roman political system, the democratic, aristocratic, and monarchial, existed in harmony.
Cicero's letters are also remarkable for their accounts of the everyday life of a cultured and leisured man determined to create harmony and good taste around him.

 History of Iran: General Surena, The Hero of Carrhae
The name under which he appears in the western classical sources was apparently no more than his hereditary title, that of Suren, which continues to appear as well in the record of Iranian history far into Sasanian times.
Rome considered itself obliged to enter upon the inheritance of Alexander of Macedonia and, from the time of Pompey, continually attempted the subjection of the Hellenistic countries as far as the Euphrates River and had ambitions to go even farther eastward.
With this objective, Marcus Licinius Crassus, the Roman triumvir in 54 BCE, took the offensive against Iran.

 Druids Grove - FAQ - 6
In general, it is believed by historians that the Celtic people migrated from a common Indo-European homeland somewhere in Eastern Europe and migrated westward.
It is safe to assume that there were religious specialists of some kind there at the time, though the notion of "Druids" as a comprehensive religious and intellectual caste doesn't emerge until about 500 BCE or shortly after.
There is good evidence that through their trade routes, and the adoption of customs indigenous to the areas they colonized, that Celtic culture experienced much change and innovation over time.
