The Satires are a vital source for the study of ancient Rome from a number of perspectives, although their comic mode of expression makes it problematic to accept the content as strictly factual. At first glance the Satires could be read as a critique of pagan Rome.
That critique may have ensured their survival in the Christian monastic scriptoria although the majority of ancient texts did not survive. Watch Teacher Of The Year Full Movie. Based on available evidence, details of the author's life cannot be reconstructed definitely.
The Vita Iuvenalis (Life of Juvenal), a biography of the author that became associated with his manuscripts no later than the tenth century, is little more than an extrapolation from the Satires. Traditional biographies, including the Vita Iuvenalis, give us the writer's full name and also tell us that he was either the son, or adopted son, of a rich freedman. He is supposed to have been a pupil of Quintilian, and to have practised rhetoric until he was middle- aged, both as amusement and for legal purposes. The Satires do make frequent and accurate references to the operation of the Roman legal system. His career as a satirist is supposed to have begun at a fairly late stage in his life.
Biographies agree in giving his birthplace as Aquinum and also, in allotting to his life a period of exile, which supposedly was due to his insulting an actor who had high levels of court influence. The emperor who is said to have banished him is given variously, as either Trajan or Domitian. A preponderance of the biographies place his exile in Egypt, with the exception of one, that opts for Scotland.[2]Only one of these traditional biographies supplies a date of birth for Juvenal: it gives 5. AD, which most probably is speculation, but accords reasonably well with the rest of the evidence.
Other traditions have him surviving for some time past the year of Hadrian's death (1. AD). Some sources place his death in exile, others have him being recalled to Rome (the latter of which is considered more plausible by contemporary scholars). If he was exiled by Domitian, then it is possible that he was one of the political exiles recalled during the brief reign of Nerva.[2]It is impossible to tell how much of the content of these traditional biographies is fiction and how much is fact. Large parts clearly are mere deduction from Juvenal's writings, but some elements appear more substantial. Juvenal never mentions a period of exile in his life, yet it appears in every extant traditional biography. Many scholars think the idea to be a later invention; the Satires do display some knowledge of Egypt and Britain, and it is thought that this gave rise to the tradition that Juvenal was exiled. Others, however - particularly Gilbert Highet - regard the exile as factual, and these scholars also supply a concrete date for the exile: 9.
AD until 9. 6, when Nerva became emperor. They argue that a reference to Juvenal in one of Martial's poems, which is dated to 9.
Juvenal was already in exile, or, had served his time in exile, since in that case, Martial would not have wished to antagonise Domitian by mentioning such a persona non grata as Juvenal. If Juvenal was exiled, he would have lost his patrimony, and this may explain the consistent descriptions of the life of the client he bemoans in the Satires. The only other biographical evidence available, is a dedicatory inscription, said to have been found at Aquinum in the nineteenth century, with the following text: [3]..]RI·SACRVM..]NIVS·IVVENALIS..] COH·[.]·DELMATARVMII·VIR·QVINQ·FLAMENDIVI·VESPASIANIVOVIT·DEDICAV[..]UESVA PECCERE]RI·SACRVMD(ECIMVS) IV]NIVS·IVVENALISTRIB(VNVS)] COH(ORTIS)·[I]·DELMATARVMII·VIR·QVINQ(VENNALIS)·FLAMENDIVI·VESPASIANIVOVIT·DEDICAV[ITQ]UESVA PEC(VNIA)To Ceres (this) sacred (thing)(Decimus Junius?)

Scholars usually are of the opinion that this inscription does not relate to the poet: a military career would not fit well with the pronounced anti- militarism of the Satires and, moreover, the Dalmatian legions do not seem to have existed prior to 1. AD. Therefore, it seems likely that this reference is to a Juvenal who was a later relative of the poet, however, as they both came from Aquinum and were associated with the goddess Ceres (the only deity the Satires shows much respect for). If the theory that connects these two Juvenals is correct, then the inscription does show that Juvenal's family was reasonably wealthy, and that, if the poet really was the son of a foreign freedman, then his descendants assimilated into the Roman class structure more quickly than typical.
Green thinks it more likely that the tradition of the freedman father is false and, that Juvenal's ancestors had been minor nobility of Roman Italy of relatively ancient descent.[4]The Satires and their genre[edit]Juvenal is credited with sixteen known poems divided among five books; all are in the Roman genre of satire, which, at its most basic in the time of the author, comprised a wide- ranging discussion of society and social mores in dactylic hexameter.[5] In Satire I, concerning the scope and content of his work, Juvenal says: ex quo Deucalion nimbis tollentibus aequornauigio montem ascendit sortesque poposcitpaulatimque anima caluerunt mollia saxaet maribus nudas ostendit Pyrrha puellas,quidquid agunt homines, uotum, timor, ira, uoluptas,gaudia, discursus, nostri farrago libelli est. Back from when Deucalion climbed a mountain in a boatas the clouds lifted the waters, and then asked for an oracle,and then little by little spirit warmed the soft stonesand Pyrrha showed naked girls to their husbands,whatever men do – prayer, fear, rage, pleasurejoy, running about – is the gist of my little book.—(1. Juvenal claims as his purview, the entire gamut of human experience since the dawn of history. Quintilian – in the context of a discussion of literary genres appropriate for an oratorical education - claimed that, unlike so many literary and artistic forms adopted from Greek models, “satire at least is all ours” (satura quidem tota nostra est).[6] At least in the view of Quintillian, earlier Greek satiric verse (e. Hipponax) or even Latin satiric prose (e. Petronius) did not constitute satura, per se.
Roman Satura was a formal literary genre rather than being simply clever, humorous critique in no particular format. Book I: Satires 1–5. Book II: Satire 6. Book III: Satires 7–9. Book IV: Satires 1. Book V: Satires 1. Satire 1. 6 is incomplete)The individual Satires (excluding Satire 1.
