This chapter considers the possibilities for reading and writing satire as they figure in the fragments, especially of Books 26, 3, and 5. Lucilius’ books relate satire to other contemporary discourses and define a range of possible relationships between the satirist and his audiences. The glimpses of a textual culture in the fragments and the reflections of books as they were used by readers are important expressions of Roman satire as a social practice in the second century.

Combining approaches drawn from linguistics, Roman history, and Latin literature, the chapters share a common purpose of attempting to assess how Lucilius’ satires functioned in the social environment in which they were created and originally read. Particular areas of focus include audiences for satire, the mixing of varieties of Latin in the satires, and relationships with other second-century genres, including comedy, epic, and oratory. Lucilius’ satires emerged at a time when Rome’s new status as an imperial power and its absorption of influences from the Greek world were shaping Roman identity. With this in mind the book provides new perspectives on the foundational identification of satire with what it means to be Roman and satire’s unique status as “wholly ours” tota nostra among Latin literary genres.
