Roman satirical poet.

Roman satirist who denounced the vice and folly of Roman society during the reign of the emperor Domitian (60-140)

Juvenal, an Anglicized form derived from the Latin (Decimus Iunius) Iuvenalis, was a Roman poet active in the late 1st and early 2nd century CE, author of the Satires. The details of the author's life are unclear, although references within his text to known persons of the late 1st and early 2nd centurires CE fixes his terminus post quem (earliest date of composition). In accord with the vitriolic manner of Lucilius - the originator of the genre of Roman satire - and within a poetic tradition that also included Horace and Persius, Juvenal wrote at least 16 poems in dactylic hexameter covering an encyclopedic range of topics across the Roman world.
