Annotation: It is often assumed that Roman Satire presents a fair picture of everyday life in Rome but all satire tends to distort its subject matter by exaggeration and suppression. These essays explain how satire can, and cannot, be used as a source for Roman social history. Topics are Friendship (R Mayer), City and Country (S H Braund), the Law (J D Cloud), Food (N A Hudson), and Women (J G W Henderson).
