Sabellus
Sabellus (probably lived in the first half of the 1st century AD) was a Roman author . He was a contemporary of Martial and is mentioned in his writings (ep. 13, 43) as the author of a textbook of love in verse that was apparently popular at the time. Afterwards Sabellus described completely new and extravagant sexual positions in his works, as they were not even described by Elephantis . His completely new Figurae Veneris are said to have included symplegmata , positions of five people at the same time, and catenae , positions of even more people.
Martial ep. 9.19 as the author of a poem in praise of the baths of the Ponticus .
