Book Description:

The Arena of Satire presents the satirist as flaneur traversing the streets of Rome in search of its authentic core--those distinctly Roman virtues that have disappeared amid the corruption of the age. What the vengeful, punishing satirist does to his victims, as Larmour shows, echoes what the Roman state did to outcasts and criminals in the arena of the Colosseum.
