Perhaps more than any other writer, Juvenal (c. AD 55-138) captures the splendour, the squalor and the sheer energy of everyday Roman life. In The Sixteen Satires he evokes a fascinating world of whores, fortune-tellers, boozy politicians, slick lawyers, shameless sycophants, ageing flirts and downtrodden teachers. A member of the traditional land-owning class that was rapidly seeing power slip into the hands of outsiders, Juvenal also creates savage portraits of decadent aristocrats - male and female - seeking excitement among the lower orders of actors and gladiators, and of the jumped-up sons of newly-rich former slaves. Constantly comparing the corruption of his own generation with its stern and upright forebears, Juvenal's powers of irony and invective make his work a stunningly satirical and bitter denunciation of the degeneracy of Roman society

Decimus Junius Juvenalis, known as Juvenal, is one of the greatest satirists and moralists in history. His works, of which 16 are preserved, are scathing and unapologetic in their presentment of Rome and its citizens; Juvenal is also revered as a social historian for his vivid depictions of Latin life. He wrote his satires between 100 and 127 AD, and although his volumes of poetry were lost for several centuries, his rediscovered works introduced a tradition of satire that has been popular for nearly two thousand years. Juvenal has often been misunderstood, as some critics have denounced him for having disliked everything in his life. However, the poet intended for his works to instruct as much as chastise. In these 16 works, ranging in size from just over 60 lines to 661 lines, Juvenal deals with such subjects as the wealthy, women, soldiers, the highborn, vanity, greed, extravagance, among others.

Excerpt from The Sixteen Satires of Juvenal: A New Translation, With an Introduction, a Running Analysis, and Brief Explanatory Notes Beside the subtler indications of authenticity which have been illustrated, there are many other confirmatory points of resemblance, fewest in the Fourteenth but more numerous in the Tenth and Thirteenth Satires, which will present themselves to any careful reader. In spite of Juvenal's Openly expressed contempt for ancient mythology and his tory, there is no tendency in his writing more distinctive than his allusiveness. The young nobleman who drives his 'own horses is called Automedon, after the charioteer of Achilles: Jehu, as we might put it. The next-door neighbour, whose house takes fire, is Ucalegon, by a remi niscence from the Aineid; Domitian is Agamemnon, king of men; and the baby son is a hopeful azneas. Nor are we surprised to find Rutilus, the domestic bully, called the Antiphates and Polyphemus of his terrified house hold, much as we might say that a thrice-made widower was a modern Bluebeard. Many of Juvenal's thoughts and some of his expressions would not be fully intelligible to any one who had not the Eneid at his fingers' ends, like the schoolmaster who is described in the Seventh Satire as being expected to tell you off-hand the name of the nurse of Anchises, all about the stepmother of Archemorus, the exact age of Acestes when he died, and the number of wine-jars which he gave to the Trojans.

Juvenal, writing between AD 110 and 130, was one of the greatest satirists of Imperial Rome. His powerful and witty attacks on the vices, abuses, and follies of the big city have been admired and used by many English writers, including Ben Jonson, Dryden, and most notably, Dr Johnson, who described his writing as `a mixture of gaiety and statelines, of pointed sentences and declamatory grandeur'. Juvenal has been seen as a stern moralist and, more recently, as an extravagant wit, and is acclaimed for his vivid description of the scenes which aroused his anger. He coined the famous phrase designating people `eager and anxious for two things; bread and races' (panem et circenses'). Niall Rudd's translation reproduces the original style and metrical effect of Juvenal's hexameters. William Barr's Introduction and Notes provide literary and historical background to the sixteen satires.
