About this book
This new interpretation of V Satire is embedded in a broader analysis of a central topos in Juvenal's work: the degradation of the clientela. The introduction illuminates Juvenal's attitude towards this topic, giving particular attention to his relationship to Martial and to the reception of this topos by Lucian. The commentary explains text critical and linguistic issues and thoroughly investigates the most relevant historical aspects.
La descrizione della cena di Virrone per suoi clientes offre lo spunto per un’amara riflessione sulla degradazione dell’istituto della clientela, ormai svuotato di ogni contenuto: il cliens si va trasformando in un mero parassita, di cui il patrono non ha bisogno se non come mezzo di intrattenimento. Mostrando a Trebio quante umiliazioni gli saranno imbandite alla tavola del suo patronus Virrone, Giovenale tenterà di spingerlo a cambiar vita.
