Possible definitions for caballus
callus
In botany, soft tissue that forms over a wounded or cut plant surface, leading to healing. A callus arises from cells of the cambium. When a callus forms, some of its cells may organize into growing points, some of which in turn give rise to roots while others produce stems and leaves. Thus a callus may be capable of regenerating an entire plant.
Camillus
Roman soldier and statesman. He allegedly defeated the Gauls after their sack of Rome (c.390), for which he was honored as the city's second founder. Awarded four triumphs and made dictator five times, he enjoyed his greatest victory in 396 over the Etruscans at Veii. Though a patrician, he adopted reforms beneficial to the army and the plebeians (367).
Catullus
Roman poet. Few facts about his life are certain. Of 116 extant poems, 25 portray an intense and unhappy affair with a married woman ("Lesbia"); others reflect an affair with the youth Juventius; still others are outbursts of contempt for Julius Caesar and other personages. He displayed remarkable versatility in assorted poetic forms, and his conversational rhythms carry an immediacy unrivaled by any other classic poet. His expressions of love and hatred represent perhaps the finest lyric poetry of ancient Rome.
