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.
