Description
In an age of sound bite, what sort of author could be relevant than a master of epigram? Martial, the influential epigrammatist of classical antiquity, was just such a virtuoso of form, but despite his pertinence to culture, his work has been neglected. This book provides an insightful tour of his works, shedding light on Roman poet's world.
