Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 2,
1867, p. 964-966: "Martialis, M. Valerius, the epigrammatist. Whatever information regarding
the personal history of this writer is derived almost exclusively from his works..."
Brill's New Pauly: "Martialis, M. Valerius...the epigrammatist M. was
born between AD 38 and 41 (cf. Mart. 10,24: 57th birthday) in Bilbilis in the province of
Hispania Tarraconensis. Around 64, he came to Rome (10,103), where he was probably at first
promoted in the circle of Seneca. His poetic production does not become tangible for us
until much later, when he celebrated the inauguration of the amphitheatrum Flavianum (
Colosseum) in 80 with a book of epigrams (De spectaculis or Epigrammaton liber), preserved
only in excerpts. The books Xenia and Apophoreta, counted as bks. 13 and 14, follow later
(c. 83-85). The 12-bk. Epigrammata took shape gradually in the years 86 to c. 102. .."
