Gaius Licinius Macer Calvus (28 May 82 BC – c. 47 BC) was an orator and poet of ancient Rome. Son of Licinius Macer and thus a member of the ''gens Licinia'', he was a friend of the poet Catullus, whose style and subject matter he shared. Calvus' oratical style opposed the "Asian" school in favor of a simpler Attic model: he characterized Cicero as wordy and artificial. Twenty-one speeches are mentioned, including several against Publius Vatinius. Calvus was apparently short, since Catullus alludes to him as ''salaputium disertum''.〔Catullus 53.5 (eloquent wit-refiner)〕 F. Plessis published fragments of Calvus in 1896. ==See also== * Licinia (gens) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Licinius Macer Calvus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
