Helvius Cinna, in the entourage of the governor of Bithynia, C. Memmius (10, 46).

Suetonius • Life of Julius Caesar While serving as military tribune, the first office which was conferred on him by vote of the people after his return to Rome, he ardently supported the leaders in the attempt to re-establish the authority of the tribunes of the commons, the extent of which Sulla had curtailed. When at the close of his consulship the praetors Gaius Memmius and Lucius Domitius moved an inquiry into his conduct during the previous year, Caesar laid the matter before the senate; and when they failed to take it up, and three days had been wasted in fruitless wrangling, went off to his province.

Catullus Scholars have been divided in opinion as to whether his praenomen was Gaius or Quintus, and in the best manuscripts the volume is called simply Catulli Veronensis liber. For Gaius we have the undoubted testimony, not only of Jerome, which rests on the much earlier authority of Suetonius, but also that of Apuleius. Coming to Rome in early youth from a distant province, not at that time included within the limits of Italy, he lived as an equal with the men of his time of most intellectual activity and refinement, as well as of highest social and political eminence. www.nndb.com /people/937/000094655   (2141 words)

Brown Classical Journal When writing to neoteric Gaius Helvius Cinna of a promiscuous woman named Maecilia in poem 113, for example, he begins, “Consule Pompeio primum” (113.1),[3] which is a typical introduction for a history, a genre seemingly far removed from poetry. It starts with a tribute to his friend and colleague, Cinna, who recently completed a poem titled “Zmyrna.” Catullus writes of the poem’s destiny for timelessness but then is also sure to mock the work of other, non-neoteric poets, including Hortensius, Antimachus, and, quite harshly, Volusius, whom he also ridicules in poem 36. [13] “The Zmyrna of my Cinna, finally, after the ninth harvest after which it was begun and published after the ninth winter, when Hortensius, in the meantime, 500,000 in one… Zmyrna will be sent to the deep waves of far-away Strachus, the white ages will unwind Zmyrna for a long time. www.brown.edu /Departments/Classics/bcj/15-01.html   (1911 words)
