Giovenale, 'Satira' 9 : Introduzione, testo, traduzione e commento (Texte und Kommentare 67) (2021. X, 393 S. 230 mm)

Juvenal's Satire 9, though often considered among its author's most successful, has not infrequently been censored or condemned for its 'obscene' subject matter. The present work constitutes the first extensive and independent commentary devoted to this composition. The author studies the degradation of the Roman institution of the clientele, as well as the parameters relating to sexuality in force in Roman society between the first and second centuries AD.
