About the book

Juvenal's Satires are fierce and often darkly comic attacks on the corruption and absurdities of Roman society. He targets wealth, hypocrisy, ambition, bad manners and social climbing with relentless energy. The poems provide both a vivid literary portrait of imperial Rome and one of the foundational models of European satire.
