""Select Epigrams of Martial: Spectaculorum Liber and Books I-IV"" is a book that features a collection of epigrams by the Roman poet Martial.

The epigrams cover a wide range of topics, including love, friendship, politics, and daily life in ancient Rome. This book is ideal for students of classics, Latin, and poetry, as well as anyone interested in Roman literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
