Possible definitions for marital

Maritain
French philosopher. A devout Roman Catholic, his thought was based on Aristotelianism and Thomism, but incorporated features from other classical and modern philosophers and drew on anthropology, sociology, and psychology. Referring to Thomism as existentialist intellectualism, he emphasized the importance of the individual as well as the Christian community. Among his major works are Art and Scholasticism (1920), The Degrees of Knowledge (1932), Art and Poetry (1935), Man and the State (1951), and Moral Philosophy (1960).


Martial
Roman poet. Born in a Roman colony in Spain, Martial went to Rome as a young man. There he associated with such figures as Seneca, Lucan, and Juvenal and enjoyed the patronage of the emperors Titus and Domitian. His early poetry, some marred by gross adulation of Titus, was undistinguished. He is renowned for his 12 books of epigrams (86-102?), a form he virtually created. Pointed and often obscene, they provide a picture of Roman society during the early empire that is remarkable both for its completeness and for its accurate portrayal of human foibles.


capital
In architecture, the crowning member of a column, pier, pilaster, or other vertical form, providing a structural support and transition for the horizontal member (entablature) or arch above. In Classical styles, the capital is the architectural member that most readily identifies the order. Simple stone capitals have been found in the earliest known pyramids of ancient Egypt (c.2890-2686 BC), at Saqqarah.

In economics, the stock of resources that are used to produce other goods now and in the future. In classical economics the three factors of production are capital, labor, and land. Capital embodies the man-made resources. It is defined to include the buildings, plant, equipment, and inventories created by all three factors. In this sense, capital goods may be contrasted with consumer goods. The creation of capital goods means that consumption must be forgone, that there is saving. The flow of saving becomes a flow of investment. Expenditures on education and training are often referred to as investment in human capital (see G. Becker). Financial capital is the term given to the stocks and bonds issued in order to finance the acquisition of capital goods.
