Juvenal

DECIMUS JUNIUS JUVENAL IS, (joo've-nahl,) the most eminent of Roman satirists, is said to have been B. in Aquinum, A. D. 40. He became a pleader at law, and the intimate friend of the epigrammatic poet Martial. After the age of 60, he produced the famous poems in which he so severely lashed the vices and follies of the times he lived in. Sixteen of his satires have been preserved. [s. 511]
