The Poet We Call Martial, Marcus Valerius Martialis, Lived By His Wits In First-century Rome. Pounding The Mean Streets Of The Empire's Capital, He Takes Apart The Pretensions, Addictions, And Cruelties Of Its Inhabitants With Perfect Comic Timing And Killer Punchlines. Social Climbers And Sex-offenders, Rogue Traders And Two-faced Preachers - All Are Subject To His Forensic Annihilations And Often Foul-mouthed Verses. Packed With Incident And Detail, Martial's Epigrams Bring Rome Vividly To Life In All Its Variety; Biting Satire Rubs Alongside Tender Friendship, Lust For Life Beside Sorrow For Loss. Gossipy, Clever, And Above All Entertaining, They Express Amusement As Much As Indignation At The Vices They Expose. Martial ; Translated With An Introduction And Notes By Gideon Nisbet. Select Bibliography: Pages Xxxi-xxxiv. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. Latin Text With English Translation; Introduction, Notes, Chronology And Select Bbibliography In English. The Latin Text Is That Of The Translator, Based On Sources In The Public Domain.
