Selected Epigrams (Wisconsin Studies in Classics)

by Martial (Author), Susan McLean (Translator)

Synopsis

This lively translation accurately captures the wit and uncensored bawdiness of the epigrams of Martial, who satirized Roman society, both high and low, in the first century CE. His pithy little poems amuse, but also offer vivid insight into the world of patrons and clients, doctors and lawyers, prostitutes, slaves, and social climbers in ancient Rome.
