Beyond a Reasonable Doubt

Infantem tibi vir, tibi, Galla, remisit adulter. Hi, puto non dubie se futuisse negant. Your husband’s rejected your child, your lover has too: Galla, they clearly deny laying a finger on you. Galla, il marito ed anche l’amante ti hanno rispedito l’infante. Entrambi smentiscono così d’averti chiavato quel dì!

Martial, Epigrams, Book 10, XCV
