520 1 $a"One of literature's greatest satirists, Martial earned his livelihood by excoriating the follies and vices of his time, and set a pattern that satirists have admired and imitated across the ages. Born in Spain, Marcus Valerius Martialis (ca.40102 CE), known in English as Martial, went to Rome as a young man to win fame and fortune. At the height of his career he published a book of scathing social commentary every year - fifteen hundred poems in all - of which about a third are translated here." "From acclaimed author Garry Wills, this translation does not sacrifice the cleverly constructed effects of Martial's short and shapely thrusts. Martial's Epigrams makes addictive reading and a perfect-if naughty - gift."--BOOK JACKET.
