This volume contains all of Petronius' extant works, including the Satyricon, a satirical novel that follows the adventures of a young man named Encolpius and his companions as they journey through the Roman Empire. The Satyricon is a landmark work of Roman literature, known for its bawdy humor, vivid characters, and scathing commentary on Roman society.In addition to the Satyricon, this collection also includes Petronius' poetry, fragments of his lost works, and a biography of the author.

The fragments of his lost works provide a glimpse into the breadth of Petronius' literary output, while the biography sheds light on the author's life and career.Overall, The Complete Works of Gaius Petronius is a comprehensive introduction to one of the most important and influential authors of ancient Rome. Petronius' works continue to captivate readers with their wit, insight, and irreverent humor, making this volume a must-read for anyone interested in the literature and culture of the ancient world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
