This collection of papers is the outcome of a one-day symposium held at The University of Newcastle, New South Wales in November 2018. The symposium marked fourteen years since the first Catullus gathering at Newcastle, which resulted in the first thematic issue of Antichthon, ‘Catullus in Contemporary Perspective’ in 2006. This inaugural thematic issue of Antichthon marked the fortieth anniversary of the foundation of the Australasian Society for Classical Studies and the publication of its journal. It is especially poignant that many of the original contributors and audience members returned in 2018, and their papers appear in this second thematic volume, ‘Catullus in the 21st Century.’
