Satyrica (Folio Society Edition) – Petronius

An unparalleled satire of Neronian decadence, this fragmentary Roman novel chronicles the amoral misadventures of the narrator, Encolpius, and his handsome slave, Giton, as they wander provincial Italy. Their shocking odyssey exposes the excesses of Roman society, featuring bawdy escapades, con artistry, and the famously extravagant, vulgar banquet of the *nouveau riche* freedman, Trimalchio. This blend of prose and verse remains a vital, wickedly entertaining classic.

Condition: Overall in Very Good condition with minor shelf wear consistent with age.
