1622 1ed MARTIAL Epigrams Roman Poetry Natural History Xenia Apophoreta Douay

"I live in a little cell, with a window that won't even close,
In which Boreas himself would not want to live."
– Martial, Epigrams
Martial was a 1st-century Roman poet from Spain most-known for his 'Epigrams.' This important, early piece of Roman literature expresses details of life in Rome focusing in on the brutal daily life during the Roman Empire. Martial describes living conditions of Rome, corrupt physicians and senators, cruel treatment of slaves, and secrets and rumors of emperors. Because of the style of Martial's writing, he is often considered the first insult comic, as he used humor to disguise his disdain for the life with which he was so familiar.
This 1622 was published in Douay, France by Belleri. Collected and edited by Matthew Roeder. This particular volume includes Martial's "Xenia" and "Apophoreta" which is Martial's perspective on natural history.

1790 FAMOUS Edward Gibbon Decline & Fall of Roman Empire Caesar ROME 2v SET

"Lo, there appeared a truly classic work: a history not majestic like Livy, nor compressed like Tacitus; not stamped with character like Clarendon; perhaps not so deep as Robertson's 'Scotland,' but a thousand degrees above his 'Charles'."
– Allibone, on Gibbon's 'History'

Originally printed in 1776, "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" was written in six volumes by Edward Gibbon. It has maintained its status as one of the most important literary achievements of the 18th-century and saw numerous editions. This book's popularity was partly due to it becoming the model used by modern historians and historical authors. This led to Gibbon being considered the first modern historian on the Roman Empire.

Important contents include:
·
Gibbon's religious, or secular, views on the Quran and Mohammed
·
The advancement of Christianity leading to the demise of Rome
·
