{"product_id":"selected-epigrams-9780299301743","title":"Selected Epigrams","description":"This lively translation accurately captures the wit and uncensored bawdiness of the epigrams of Martial, who satirized Roman society, both high and low, in the first century CE. His pithy little poems amuse, but also offer vivid insight into the world of patrons and clients, doctors and lawyers, prostitutes, slaves, and social climbers in ancient Rome. The selections cover nearly a third of Martial's 1,500 or so epigrams, augmented by an introduction by historian Marc Kleijwegt and informative notes on literary allusion and wordplay by translator Susan McLean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Wisconsin Studies in Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299301743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Literary Award - Finalist","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45133443629193,"sku":"9780299301743","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a435b788-31ea-47c5-a951-7cf4c18c0c0e.jpg?v=1767678884","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/selected-epigrams-9780299301743","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
