Calcab<strong>at</strong>ur onyx.<br />
When Caesar’s favour was gained and bought by mighty gifts, so joyful an event<br />
was followed by a feast; gre<strong>at</strong> was the bustle, as Cleop<strong>at</strong>ra displayed her magnificence<br />
–magnificence which Roman society has not yet adopted. The place itself was the size<br />
<strong>of</strong> a temple, such a temple as a corrupt age would hardly rear; the panels <strong>of</strong> the ceiling<br />
displayed wealth, and the rafters were hidden bene<strong>at</strong>h a thick co<strong>at</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> gold. The<br />
walls shone with marble; nor were they merely overlaid with a thin surface <strong>of</strong> it; and<br />
ag<strong>at</strong>e stood there on its own account, no useless ornament, and porphyry. Alabaster<br />
was laid all over the hall to tread on. (J.D. Duff).<br />
Ov. Fast. 4.64: ec tibi sit mirum Graio rem nomine dici: Itala nam tellus Graecia major<br />

And it should not be surprising for you to be called with a Greek name: the Italian<br />
land was indeed Gre<strong>at</strong>er Greece. (D. Bartoli).<br />
Ov. Met. 15.700-6: Ionium zephirys sextae Pallantidos ortu / Italiam tenuit praeterque<br />

Amphrisia remis / saxa fugit, dextra praerupta Celennia parte / Romethiumque legit<br />
Caulonaque aryciamque / evincitque fretum Siculique angusta Pelori…<br />
Carried by gentle breezes over the Ionian Sea, <strong>at</strong> dawn on the sixth day he reached<br />
Italy, and sailed along past the shores <strong>of</strong> Lacinium, famed for Juno’s temple, and past the<br />
coast <strong>of</strong> Scylacium. He left Iapygia behind him, and was rowed past the rocks <strong>of</strong><br />
Amphrisia on the left, the cliffs <strong>of</strong> Cocinthus on the right. Coasting by Romethium, by<br />
Caulon and Narycia, he sailed through the narrow strait <strong>of</strong> the Sicilian Pelorus...<br />

Phayllus from Croton – He did not get a victory in Olympia, but he won twice in<br />
the pent<strong>at</strong>hlon and the third time in the run <strong>at</strong> the Pythian Games. He fought in the naval<br />
b<strong>at</strong>tle against the Persians after having geared up his own ship, and he put on board all the<br />
Crotoni<strong>at</strong>s who lived in Greece – He has a st<strong>at</strong>ue in Delphi. (D. Bartoli).<br />
Petron. S<strong>at</strong>. 116: Hoc peracto libenter <strong>of</strong>ficio destin<strong>at</strong>um carpimus iter ac momento<br />
