Editorial Reviews

Review

"Braund's contributions to the periodical literature have added substantially to contemporary understanding of Roman satire in general. Stimulating and witty, this edition should prompt new editions of Juvenal's other satires....Highly recommended for students of Latin Poetry at the upper-division undergraduate level and above." E.R. Mix, Choice
