Auli Persii Flacci Satirae (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781248247440)

"Auli Persii Flacci Satirae" presents the satirical works of Aulus Persius Flaccus, a Roman poet and philosopher of the 1st century AD. This edition offers readers a deep dive into Persius's biting social commentary and philosophical reflections, rendered accessible through translation and scholarly annotation. Persius's satires, though few in number, are celebrated for their complex style and their engagement with Stoic philosophy, offering a critical perspective on the morals and manners of his time.

This volume will appeal to scholars and students of classical literature, philosophy, and Roman history, as well as to anyone interested in the enduring power of satire as a tool for social and intellectual critique. Fred Plum's work ensures that Persius's voice continues to resonate with contemporary audiences, inviting reflection on the perennial human struggles with vice, virtue, and the search for meaning.
