This volume considers linguistic, cultural, and literary trends
that fed into the creation of Roman satire in second-century BC
Rome. Combining approaches drawn from linguistics, Roman history,
and Latin literature, the chapters share a common purpose of
attempting to assess how Lucilius' satires functioned in the social
environment in which they were created and originally read.
Particular areas of focus include audiences for satire, the mixing
of varieties of Latin in the satires, and relationships with other
second-century genres, including comedy, epic, and oratory.
Lucilius' satires emerged at a time when Rome's new status as an
imperial power and its absorption of influences from the Greek
world were shaping Roman identity. With this in mind the book
provides new perspectives on the foundational identification of
satire with what it means to be Roman and satire's unique status as
'wholly ours' tota nostra among Latin literary genres.
