The Age of Petronius Arbiter is a historical book written by Charles Beck and published in 1856. The book explores the life and times of the Roman writer and courtier, Petronius Arbiter, who lived during the reign of Emperor Nero. Beck delves into the cultural and social milieu of ancient Rome during this period, examining the decadence, excesses, and moral decay that characterized the era. He also provides a detailed analysis of Petronius' writings, particularly his novel, Satyricon, which is widely regarded as a masterpiece of Roman literature. Through his meticulous research and insightful commentary, Beck offers readers a vivid and compelling portrait of a fascinating period in Roman history, and sheds light on the enduring legacy of Petronius and his works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
