Reviews
'The commentary is meticulous, clear in its style and organization and exceptionally well informed ... we could not hope for a better account of martial in his cultural, historical and literary context. As martial approaches his bimillenium, uninhibited once more, Watson & Watson will be the standard introduction.' The Times Literary Supplement
