Juvenal, (60?–140? A.D.), a Roman satirist. His full name in Latin was Decimus Junius Juvenalis. His savage pictures of vice in imperial Rome contrast with the more genial satires of Horace. Juvenal is noted for his descriptive realism, grim humor, and quotable phrases such as mens sana in corpore sano (“a sound mind in a sound body”) and panem et circenses (“bread and circuses”). Little is known of Juvenal's life. He is thought to have been a lawyer, and may have served as a tribune of the army. Sixteen of his satires, written in verse, survive.
