Martial, Epigrams. With Parallel Latin Text. A New Selection Translated by Gideon Nisbet
Martial, Epigrams. With parallel Latin text. A new selection translated by Gideon Nisbet. Oxford World’s Classics. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015. Pp. 336. ISBN 9780199645459. G ideon Nisbet’s interest in ancient epigram has already resulted in the publication of two books: Greek Epigram in the Roman Empire: Martial’s Forgotten Rivals (OUP, 2003) and Greek Epigram in Reception (OUP, 2013).

regarding the Mausoleum that hangs in vacuous air.
All efforts now give way to Caesar’s new amphitheatre,
Fame can speak of the one, and that can do for them all.
De Spectaculis:2 Rome restored
Just here, where Nero’s skyey colossus sees stars,
and the scaffolding towers
