1. Photo of Minimus and Silvius. the Latin mice. Minimus (as Martial) is writing an epigram to accompany the gift of a huge cheese. Silvius is climbing aboard with his cheese knife at the ready. This is the epigram (Book 13,30) entitled "caseus Lunensis" - Cheese from Luna (which is an Etruscan town) caseus Etruscae signatus imagine Lunae praestabit pueris prandia mille tuis. This cheese, stamped with the image of Etruscan Luna, will provide a thousand lunches for your boys
