Description

“Many commit the same crime with a very different result. One bears a cross for his crime; another a crown.”

― Juvenal, The Satires



A rare 1799 printing of ‘The Satires’ of both Juvenal and Persius printed by Bulmer. This collection of satirical poetry was written in the late 1st and 2nd centuries and discuss society, social norms, irony, each of these providing insight to the morals and values of Roman life at the time. Juvenal outlines many of the concerns he has with Roman citizens including unfaithfulness and greed; issues he recognized as downfalls to society.
