Satires

Satires is a collection of satirical poems by the Roman poet Decimus Iunius Iuvenalis, known as Juvenal, written in the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD. Comprising sixteen poems divided into five books, these works critique Roman society and its social mores through sharp wit and dactylic hexameter. Each poem addresses different themes and issues, reflecting the complexities of life in ancient Rome. Juvenal's influence on the genre of satire has been significant, making this collection a cornerstone of Roman literature.
