The Satyricon — Volume 07: Marchena Notes by Petronius Arbiter

"The Satyricon — Volume 07: Marchena Notes" by Petronius Arbiter is a collection of scholarly annotations to a Latin work of fiction written in the late 1st century AD. The original Satyricon follows narrator Encolpius and his companions through bizarre, often erotic adventures in ancient Rome. This volume presents the Marchena Notes, scholarly commentary examining a text that blends prose and verse, mixing comic and serious elements while depicting the decadent lives of Romans across social classes—from wealthy freedmen to aging poets.
