The Satires

By Juvenal
About The Satires

Juvenal, writing between AD 110 and 130, was one of the two great satirists of ancient Rome (the other being Horace). His powerful and witty attacks on the vices of the big city have been admired and used by many English writers including Dr Johnson. Niall Rudd's translation aims to reproduce Juvenal's livliness and energy whilst maintaining the poet's general stylistic and metrical effect.
