Greetings, I am returning after a long absense. I want to know what is everyones favorite Roman text and/or your favorite author or Poet. I will kick things off. My favorite Roman Text, even though it is a pain to translate, would have to be the First Catilinian Oration by Cicero. My favorite Roman author is Livy for his works on Roman history, and my favorite poet is Martial for his magnificent usage of cynicism throughout his lines.
"Freedom was at stake- freedom, which whets the courage of brave men"- Titus Livius

Nil recitas et vis, Mamerce, poeta videri.
Quidquid vis esto, dummodo nil recites!- Martial
