Persius

Juvenal -- Translations into English; Verse satire, Latin -- Translations into English

|   |    |      |was a disciple of Isæus (cf. A.D. 101), l. 73,
  |   |    |      |"Ingenium velox audacia perdita, sermo Promptus et Isæo
  |   |    |      |torrentior."
  |   |    |      |
  |   |    |      |Hadrian, after a four months' consulship, proceeded to
  |   |    |      |Campania, and thence to Gaul, Germany, and Britain:
  |   |    |      |Juvenal therefore might safely publish this in the
  |   |    |      |emperor's absence.
  |   |    |      |
  |   | 119|   872|Hadrian consul with Junius Rusticus.
  |   |    |      |
  |   |    |      |This is most probably the Junius mentioned Sat. xv.
  |   |    |      |27, "Nuper Consule Junio gesta." Cf. Salmas., Plin.
  |   |    |      |Exercit. p. 320.
  |   |    |      |
  |   | 120|   873|Hadrian's progress through the provinces.
  |   |    |      |
  |   |    |      |He builds the wall in Britain: "Compositis in Britanniâ
  |   |    |      |rebus, transgressus in Galliam." Spartian. c. 10. This
  |   |    |      |may be alluded to, Sat. ii. 160, 161. Cf. Sat. xv. 111.
  |   |    |      |
  |   |    |      |«Plutarch, æt. 74.»
  |   |    |      |
  |225| 121|   874|Birth of M. Aurelius.
  |   |    |      |
  |   | 122|   875|Hadrian at Athens.
  |   |    |      |
  |   |    |      |Artemidorus Capito, the physician, in great repute with
  |   |    |      |Hadrian. It is not impossible that he may be alluded to
  |   |    |      |under the name of "Heliodorus." Cf. Sat. vi. 373.
  |   |    |      |
  |   | 124|   877|The eleventh Satire may perhaps be assigned to about
  |   |    |      |this date. It was written when Juvenal was advanced in
  |   |    |      |years. l. 203, "Nostra bibat vernum contracta cuticula
  |   |    |      |solem."
  |   |    |      |
  |   |    |      |The excitement about the games in the circus (cf.
  |   |    |      |Gibbon, chap. xl.) was as great as in the days of
  |   |    |      |Domitian; and the "green" appears at this time to have
  |   |    |      |been a victorious color. Compare Sat. xi. 195, "Totam
  |   |    |      |hodie Romam circus capit, et fragor aurem Percutit,
  |   |    |      |eventum _viridis_ quo colligo _panni_;" with the
  |   |    |      |inscription in Gruter, quoted in Clinton (in ann.),
  |   |    |      |"Primum agitavit in factione _prasinâ_." «Cf. Mart.
  |   |    |      |xiv. Ep. cxxxi., written long after Domitian's time.»
  |   |    |      |
  |   | 126|   879|Birth of Pertinax.
  |   |    |      |
  |   |    |      |«Dionysius of Halicarnassus flourishes.»
  |   |    |      |
  |   | 128|   881|Hadrian takes the title of "Pater Patriæ."
  |   |    |      |
  |227| 129|   882|Julius Fronto mentioned, as commanding the "Classis
  |   |    |      |Prætoria Misenensis." Cf. A.D. 100.
  |   |    |      |
  |   | 130|   883|In the autumn of this year Hadrian is in Egypt.
  |   |    |      |«Compare the Greek inscription quoted by Clinton from
  |   |    |      |Eckhel with Sat. xv. 5.»
