The most curious and in some respects the most remarkable work that
the Silver Age has bequeathed to us is a fragment of a novel, the
Satyricon of Petronius Arbiter, Its author is generally identified
with Titus Petronius, the friend and victim of Nero. Tacitus has
described him in a passage, remarkable even among Tacitean
portraits for its extraordinary brilliance. 'His days he passed in
sleep, his nights in the business and pleasures of life. Indolence
had raised him to fame, as energy raises others, and he was
reckoned not a debauchee and spendthrift, like most of those who
squander their substance, but a man of refined luxury.
