Tacitus and Juvenal: The Eyes and the Voice of the Roman Empire

Imagine living in a time when the most powerful man in the world could kill you on a whim, when corruption and cruelty were rampant, when morality and justice were relative, and when history was written by the winners. This was the reality of ancient Rome under the rule of the emperors, and this was the context that shaped the works of two of the most influential Roman writers: Tacitus and Juvenal. Tacitus and Juvenal were both active in the late first and early second centuries AD, a period that witnessed dramatic changes in the political and social landscape of the empire.
