The Satyricon — Volume 06: Editor's Notes by Petronius Arbiter

"The Satyricon — Volume 06: Editor's Notes" by Petronius Arbiter is a scholarly supplement to a Latin work written in the late 1st century AD. This volume provides editorial annotations for a picaresque satire following the narrator Encolpius and his companions through a series of bizarre, often erotic adventures in ancient Rome. The notes illuminate the text's mixture of prose and verse, its social commentary on lower-class Roman life, and its most famous sequence: the extravagant dinner party hosted by the vulgar freedman Trimalchio.
