Description

Martial was a Roman poet primarily writing during the reign of Domitian, and while primarily known for his commentary on Roman life, his takedowns, his insults and vulgarity, in this episode we look at how he toes the careful line of praising the Emperor.



Guest: Associate Professor Rhiannon Evans (Classics and Ancient History, La Trobe University).
