Abstract
In this work we study the role that Martial’s satirical epigram has played in the History of Latin satire. Its influence on Juvenal determined the subsequent development of the genre. We limit ourselves to the analysis of Martial’s presence in Juvenal’s first book and to the subject of client relationships in satires i, iii and v. Juvenal takes Martial into account as another reference of his poetic program and, consequently, finds in him inspiration not only in specific passages, but also –and this is the most important– in the structural and rhetorical models of his epigrammata longa. This also holds true in his series about the degradation in the patronus-cliens relations and even in the way he deals with this topic: his development of the dramatic advance is found in both poets. Juvenal integrates into satire everything he takes from Martial by subjecting it to amplification and hyperbole and by changing Martial’s light tone and jokes to that of indignation and sarcasm
