Appendixes
The Satires contain six Latin poems of moderate length in the hexameter metre. Persius belonged to the well-to-do and landowning gentry of Italy and the tone and philosophical content of the Satire suggest that he pursued philosophy with an ardour beyond that conventionally thought proper by Romans.
