Giovenale, "Satira" 8

The introduction examines the structure of the piece and some of its rhetorical features. An overview of the history of the text is followed by a revised critical edition and an Italian translation. The commentary offers a systematic treatment of the linguistic, rhetorical, historical and antiquarian aspects of the text.
