Juvenal's satires provide a biting critique of Roman society, addressing themes like wealth, vanity, and moral decay. Written between 100 and 127 AD, his sixteen preserved works serve as both social commentary and moral instruction. Often misunderstood as merely cynical, Juvenal aimed to educate through his sharp observations of life in ancient Rome. This edition, featuring premium acid-free paper, revives his influential tradition of satire, which has resonated through the ages.
