One of literature's greatest satirists, Marcus Valerius Martialis, 40-102 CE, known in English as Martial, earned his livelihood by excoriating the follies and vices of his time. At the height of his career he published a book of scathing socialcommentary every year, 1500 poems in all, of which Wills translates about a third. This exquisite translation from Garry Wills does not sacrifice the cleverly constructed effects of Martial's short and shapely thrusts.
