from a note by A. S. Kline: Furius: ''Probably Marcus Furius Bibaculus, a Cremonese and one of the new poets.'' Aurelius: An unknown friend of Catullus. Hyrcania: A wild country bordering the Caspian Sea. Sacia: A Scythian country bordering the Caspian Sea. Parthia: The Parthian Empire to the south-west of the Caspian Sea was Rome’s enemy in the East. Its mounted archers were particularly effective. Caesar: Gaius Julius Caesar the dictator. Catullus ridicules his homosexuality and his patronage of Mamurra.
