As Satyras [de Decio Junio Juvenal] (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781245684217)

As Satyras is a collection of satirical poems by the Roman poet Juvenal. These biting verses offer a vivid and often scathing commentary on the social, political, and moral decay of ancient Rome. Juvenal's work is characterized by its sharp wit, powerful imagery, and unflinching critique of corruption, hypocrisy, and the excesses of Roman society.

Through vivid depictions of daily life, from the extravagance of the wealthy to the struggles of the poor, Juvenal exposes the vices and follies of his time. His satires remain relevant today for their insightful observations on human nature and the enduring themes of power, morality, and social justice. This collection provides a valuable glimpse into the world of ancient Rome and the timeless art of satire.
