Book Overview
Satirae Sex presents the complete satires of Aulus Persius Flaccus, a Roman poet and satirist of the first century CE. This edition, prepared by Wilhelm Ernst Weber, offers readers insight into Persius's critical and philosophical perspectives on Roman society. Persius's work, known for its complex style and moralizing tone, provides a valuable window into the intellectual and cultural landscape of the early Roman Empire.
These six satires, grappling with themes of Stoicism, societal corruption, and the pursuit of virtue, remain relevant for students of classical literature and anyone interested in the history of satire. This volume preserves the original Latin text while providing context for modern readers, making it an enduring resource for understanding Persius's contribution to Latin letters and the broader tradition of satirical writing.
