This volume offers an investigation of Martial's engagement with Roman epigraphic habits and proposes a new interpretation of early imperial writing culture. It argues that epigrammatic poetry and epigraphic writing are complementary cultural activities, involving thematic and generic interactions and intersecting audiences.
