Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of fifteen satirical poems written by the Roman poet Persius during the 1st century CE. Persius uses biting wit and clever wordplay to expose the hypocrisies, vices, and follies of his time. His targets include the wealthy, the powerful, and even the philosophers who claim to teach virtue but fail to live by it. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and political landscape of ancient Rome and is considered a significant work of Latin literature. Persius's sharp observations and timeless insights make his work as relevant and thought-provoking today as it was when it was first written.
