Satirarum Reliquiae presents a collection of satirical works, including the surviving fragments attributed to Petronius Arbiter, a prominent figure in Roman literature. This edition, augmented with the Liber Priapeorum (a collection of poems dedicated to the god Priapus), offers insights into the social customs, humor, and literary styles of the classical world.
Petronius's work, though fragmentary, is celebrated for its vivid depiction of Roman life and its innovative narrative techniques. The inclusion of the Priapea further enriches this volume, providing a broader view of Roman poetic expression and religious beliefs. This collection remains an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts interested in Latin literature and the cultural landscape of ancient Rome.
