I wonder why Lerpercus had a poem dedicated to him? He was the roman god of agriculture who protected flocks from wolves-does Martial see himself as some kind of wolf on the sheep of society?
I was not aware that Caesar censored texts in his empire, but not surprised seeing as he was a tyrant who wanted to control his image
“The censorship may tolerate innocent jokes: my page indulges in freedoms, but my life is pure”
