Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

One of the most famous Roman feasts is the one given by Trimalchio, as described in The Satyricon by Petronius. There is one minor problem with trying to recreate this feast – it never actually existed!But of course, this hasn’t stopped people from trying to recreate it – including me. After all, in the immortal words of Jeremy Clarkson, “How hard can it be?” Perhaps regular watchers of Top Gear will now be thinking of rocket Reliant Robins… or sinking Dampervans…. or Italian Supercars that can’t even get to Slough.

This new Satyricon features not only a lively, new, annotated translation of the text, but fresh and accessible commentaries that discuss Petronius' masterpiece in terms of such topics as the identity of the author, the transmission of his manuscript, literary influences on the Satyricon, and the distinctive literary form of this work--as well as such features of Roman life as oratory, sexual practices, households, dinner parties, religion, and philosophy. It offers, in short, a remarkably informative and engaging account of major aspects of Imperial Roman culture as seen through the prism of our first extant novel.
