J. Larmour deftly revises and sharpens our understanding of the second-century Roman writer who stands as the archetype for all later practitioners of the satirists art.\n\n The enduring attraction of Juvenals satires is twofold: they not only introduce the character of the angry satirist but also offer vivid descriptions of everyday life in Rome at the height of the Empire. In Larmours interpretation, these two elements are inextricably linked. The Arena of Satire presents the satirist as flaneur traversing the streets of Rome in search of its authentic corethose distinctly Roman virtues that have disappeared amid the corruption of the age.
