Epigrammata
M. Valerius Martialis
Argi nempe soles subire Letum:contra Caesaris est forum tabernascriptis postibus hinc et inde totis,omnis ut cito perlegas poetas.
No doubt you often go down to Argiletum. Opposite Caesar's Forum there's a shop with its doorposts completely covered by advertisements, so that you can read the entire list of poets at a glance.
