No, Charlie, it's a Monopoly board railroad group.
Interested Clodia taxonomists should start by poring over T.P. Wiseman's 1985 (and reprinted often by Cambridge) 'Catullus and His World: A Reappraisal', especially Chapter VII, pp 211-218, on the inventive proto-cinematic theorizationes of Ludwig Schwabe (pp 217-18), and then read anything else by Wiseman on the subject. There's lots and lots here and there. His main and trenchant point is that there is no actual evidence at all that Clodia Metelli was that Clodia, and that there is plenty of secondary evidence that makes the usual name identifications for the Mettelli connection questionable or sometimes simply impossible. But that Metelli lady is a hot, hot number in Cicero's rendering. And so: hot, hot poet: hot, hot (seeming) lady. I ask, why would Catullus want to make babies with a woman who was married perhaps 20 years before he likely met her?
Takes all kinds, I guess. Three wishes.
