Abstract

Martial, born in Bilbilis, wouldn’t be able to resist the centripetal force from Imperial Rome. The caput mundi earned him the glory of recognition, but also consumed the poet in its bustle. Bilbilis would emerge, after 34 years spent in the Vrbs, as a refuge for an old age devoted to writing. However, only one final book has Martial written in Hispania… Accessing the invitation outlined by the work of the epigrammatic, we intend to understand how is his poetry influenced by this confrontation, raging within him, between the Bilbilitan he was born and the Roman he became.
