Martial by Peter Howell
Martial (Marcus Valerius Martialis) was a Spanish writer who lived in Rome in the second half of the first century AD. This book tells what we know about the man's commonsense attitude to life, and his hatred of hypocrisy and malice. It also assesses his debt to literary tradition and the astonishing influence he had on later writers.
Peter Howell was Senior Lecturer in the Department of Classics, Royal Holloway, University of London until his retirement in 1999. He is the author of "A Commentary on Book I of the Epigrams of Martial" (1980) and "Martial: The Epigrams, Book V" (1995).
