The three poems (Satires 7, 8 and 9) that comprise Book 3 of the Satires form a brilliant collection, displaying Juvenal at the height of his powers and in the full breadth of his interests.
The first edition of Book 3 of Juvenal's Satires as a unit by itself contains a detailed introduction, Latin text and translation, and commentary. Poems 7-9 show Juvenal at the height of his powers, directing his biting satire at Roman nobles, the clientela system and literary life in the early 2nd century AD.
