ln the present work, we take as object of study the multiple
literary references that are patent in Martial's Epigrams which are directly
related with different forms of acting and interacting in the public baths of
Rome, during the poet's stay in the heart of the City (from 64 to 98 AD).
Starting from this work base, our objective is to analyse the manner in
which he deals with the realities of the thermal spa and bathing in their
physical, social, literary and cultural dimensions.
