Juvenal
![[[Book frontispiece|Frontispiece]] from [[John Dryden]], ''The<br/>[[Satires of Juvenal|Satires of Decimus Junius Juvenalis]]:<br/>And of [[Aulus Persius Flaccus]]''](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Juvenalcrowned.gif)
Juvenal wrote at least 16 poems in the verse form dactylic hexameter. These poems cover a range of Roman topics. This follows Lucilius—the originator of the Roman satire genre, and it fits within a poetic tradition that also includes Horace and Persius. The ''Satires'' are a vital source for the study of ancient Rome from a number of perspectives, although their comic mode of expression makes it problematic to accept the content as strictly factual. At first glance the ''Satires'' could be read as a critique of Rome. That critique may have ensured their preservation by the Christian monastic scriptoria, although the majority of ancient texts did not survive. Provided by Wikipedia
