En savoir plus sur le livre
Exploring themes of sexual failure and societal decay, this satirical novel by Titus Petronius Arbiter captures the essence of Roman life during Nero's reign. The protagonist, Encolpius, experiences a series of sexual misadventures that symbolize broader existential failures. The text has sparked debate over its moral implications, with interpretations ranging from an amoral depiction of society to accusations of pornography. Notably, it is distinct from the Petronius testament mentioned by Tacitus, which detailed Nero's abuses. Petronius, a Roman senator, was known for his refined taste as Nero's "arbiter of elegance."
