Each epigram is followed by an apparatus criticus, an English translation, and a detailed commentary on linguistic, literary, and historical matters, adducing extensive evidence fromepigraphy and art as well as literary sources. The book is accompanied by four concordances, five tables, two maps, 30 plates, and an appendix. | Martial: Liber Spectaculorum by Kathleen M. Coleman, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
