Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the hereby study is to illustrate the significance of this genre starting from the definition of the epigram and also to present the significance of this issue and the interest of a large number of Romanian epigrammatists towards this literary field. For this purpose, I considered it necessary to briefly mention some aspects related to the Greek origin and to the evolution and the characteristics of epigrams in order to highlight their effect on Romanian epigrammatists. The thematic diversity of epigrams is the clearest evidence of the deep thinking and ingenuity belonging to the epigrammatists who appeal to the entire range of the comic in order to infiltrate, directly and immediately, into the reader's consciousness and to open doors towards dialogue.
