Each epigram is followed by an apparatus criticus, an English translation, and a detailed commentary on linguistic, literary, and historical matters, adducing extensive evidence from epigraphy and art as well as literary sources.

Review:
Kathleen M. Coleman is Professor of Latin at Harvard University.
...formidably learned. * Emily Gowers, TLS * Coleman's book will be the definitive guide through the morass * William Fitzgerald, Hermathena * Coleman has defined the standard for future commentators on classical texts. ....it has already gained the status of a cornerstone in 21st century Martialian studies. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review * Coleman's Martial: Liber Spectaculorum is a splendid contribution to the study of this rich, difficult book of epigrams. * Luke Roman, Journal of Roman Studies * this commentary is entirely worth the wait, and more. Extremely learned, impressively thorough, and crystal-clear in organisation and exposition * Joseph Farrell, The Classical Review *
