Juvenal was a Latin satirical poet of the late first century and early second century AD; his poetry (16), composed between 90 -127 A.D., was assembled in one volume. While not much is otherwise known about the author, his texts refer to the personages of his time. His works follow Lucilius' genre of Roman satire, as do Horace and Persius.
All his poetical works, satyrs or satura, are “in the Roman genre of satire, which, at its most basic in the time of the author, comprised a wide-ranging discussion of society and social mores in dactylic hexameter.[1] The sixth and tenth satires are some of the most renowned works in the collection. The poems are not individually titled, but translators have often added titles for the convenience of readers.”
