Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of six satirical poems written by the Roman poet Persius in the first century AD. These poems focus on criticizing the moral decay and hypocrisy of Roman society, particularly among the wealthy and powerful. Persius's biting wit and sharp observations on human nature make these poems as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago. He skewers everything from the vanity of social climbers to the absurdity of religious superstition, painting a vivid picture of a society in moral decline. Persius's work is a valuable addition to the canon of classical literature, offering insights into the human condition that are both timeless and universal.
