and Persius, translated by William Gifford, is a collection of satirical poems written by two ancient Roman poets. The book includes all sixteen of Juvenal's satires and all six of Persius's satires, each translated into English by Gifford. The poems cover a wide range of topics, including politics, religion, morality, and social issues. Juvenal's satires are known for their harsh and biting criticism of Roman society, while Persius's satires are more philosophical and introspective in nature. The book also includes an introduction by Gifford, providing historical and cultural context for the poems, as well as notes and annotations throughout the text to aid in understanding the language and references used by the poets. Overall, The Satires Of Juvenal And Persius is an important work of classical literature, providing insight into the social and political climate of ancient Rome and the satirical tradition of Roman poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
