Analysis
Catullus 9 is a Latin poem of eleven lines in Phalaecean metre by the Roman poet Catullus.[2]
E. T. Merrill calls the poem "an expression of joy" over the return of Veranius, the poet's friend, from Spain.[2] Such expeditions to the colonies on the part of young Romans of that day were common: compare Fabullus in Catullus 28.[3]
In his Victorian translation of Catullus, R. F. Burton titles the poem "To Veranius returned from Travel".[4]
