Beschreibung
Martial, the father of the epigram, was one of the brilliant provincial poets who made their literary mark on first-century Rome. His Epigrams can be affectionate or cruel, elegiac or playful; they target every element of Roman society, from slaves to schoolmasters to, above all, the aristocratic elite. With wit and wisdom, Martial evokes not "the grandeur that was Rome,” but rather the timeless themes of urban life and society.

Über den Autor
Marcus Valerius Martialis (known in English as Martial, born ca. 38-41 AD and died ca 103 AD) was a Roman poet from the province of Hispania (modern Spain) and is best known for his twelve books of Epigrams, published in Rome between AD 86 and 103, during the reigns of the emperors Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. In these short, witty poems he satirises city life and the scandalous activities of his acquaintances, and romanticises his provincial upbringing. He wrote more than 1,500 epigrams. Martial has been called the greatest Latin epigrammatist, and is considered the creator of the modern epigram.
