Catullus 62 was another poem on the A Level syllabus, and I found this one to be really interesting to work on. Marriage in Rome sparked my interest after a chapter in the Oxford Latin Course which describes Quintus' sister Horatia's marriage.
What I really enjoyed in this poem was how grounded in reality it was, as it lends more insight into the lives of real Romans.
As always, the pdf files have interlinear, grammar squiggles, scansion, and a translation. V1 is in black and white, V2 is in "dark mode", which I find helpful when I am definitely not working on something after midnight.
