The Sixteen Satires

by Juvenal

Amazon
4.3(119)

Juvenal’s Sixteen Satires attack greed, patronage, luxury, gender anxiety, hypocrisy, foreign influence and the humiliations of Roman city life. The poems are rhetorically extreme rather than neutral reportage, but they are central to the literary image of moral anger in imperial Rome.
