The Roman poet Martial concentrated on the genre of epigram, which
he brought to such perfection that he provided the model for
subsequent epigrammatists. He is best known for his pungently witty
poems, which gave the word epigram its modern definition, but his
range is much wider than his: he has an ascute perception of human
nature, and gives an insight into Rome of the late first century
AD. His fifth book, which contains 84 poems, is dedicated to the
emperor Domitian, and for that reason it avoids the obscenity of
the other books. Nevertheless it includes a variety of subject
matter and treatment.
