I was skipping through my Reclam copy of Martial's Epigramms and I was losing my mind who this Postumus was, about whose kisses he kept writing mean shit. He's not even explained in the name register!!!

And then I got to Mart. 2,23 and was like. Ah. Yes. That makes sense. If you keep shittalking someone's kisses, he might get the terribly easy idea to punish you with more kisses.

#beablabbers #et tu bastard #that is now my tag for ancient author liveread threads #bc Catullus was easy to find but I have the sneaking suspicion that Martial will keep me occupied A LOT longer #the book is much thicker... and it isn't even his whole body of work #also idk if I cited him correctly this is a fucking nightmare to find out apparently #also. Imperial Rome AU where Michele gets to copy some Martial or just has a copy for his own entertainment #and Harry gets the idea to shittalk his kisses. To get more kisses. >:3c #'Oh no babe nooooo don't punish me darliiiing this is tortuuuureee'
