Reviews
"The edition itself consists of the text, an introduction to it, and a more or less exhaustive commentary, where he provides thorough surveys of previous discussions. It is really a verily re-markable accomplishment that all sorts of classicists, both philologists and historians, not to speak of literary historians, will use with profit and predilection." -- Heikki Solin, Arctos, Henriksen's new commentary on book 9 is a remarkable achievement, based on conscientious work and intellectual integrity, a commendable book for which I truly congratulate the author.

Synopsis
In this volume, Henriksen offers the first extensive commentary on Book 9 of the Epigrams of M. Valerius Martialis ( ca . AD 40-104), who published fifteen books of Epigrams during the last two decades of the 1st century AD. Firmly established in a literary tradition that had begun in Greece more than half a millennium earlier, Martial's work represents the height of the development of ancient epigram. Conscious of his own times and society, Martial often engages current genres and his great Roman predecessors, such as Catullus, Vergil, and Ovid, in an intertextual dialogue. First published in AD 94/95, Book 9 is the last book in the corpus of Martial to have been published in the reign of the emperor Domitian. While it presents the reader with the epigrammatist's characteristic variety of subjects drawn from contemporary Roman society and everyday life, it also contains a patently higher number of poems focusing on and eulogizing Domitian than any other book in the Epigrams . Unlike those of Book 8, the panegyrics in Book 9 are mixed with satirical and obscene epigrams, and the panegyrical tone is intensified. Book 9 also provides a conclusion to the large cycle on Domitian's Second Pannonian War that extends over Books 7, 8, and 9, the three books that have been termed Martial's 'Kaisertriade'. A thoroughly revised and expanded edition of Henriksen's published thesis, the book consists of an introduction discussing the date, characteristics, structure, and themes of Book 9, followed by a detailed commentary on each of the 105 poems, which places them in their literary, social, and historical context., In this volume, Henriksén offers the first extensive commentary on Book 9 of the Epigrams of M.
