Sixteen Satires book cover

Sixteen Satires

Juvenal

Experience the gritty and scandalous world of everyday life in ancient Rome through Juvenal's Sixteen Satires. From whores and drunk politicians to shameless sycophants and aging flirts, Juvenal paints a vivid picture of Roman society. He also creates savage portraits of the decadent aristocracy and compares the corruption of his generation to its upright forebears. With powerful irony and biting wit, Juvenal's work is a stunningly satirical and bitter denunciation of Roman degeneracy.
