Excerpt from The Satires of Juvenal: With Prolegomena and English Notes
Subsequently to his school training, it is most likely that be devoted himself to the study of rhetoric, not with any View to making a professional use of it, but purely as a good means of intellectual discipline. From a.d. 70 to 94 during the reign of Vespasian and the early part of that of Domitian - he probably did not -write at all. It was in the year 94 that he was banished to Egypt, owing to his having, for some reason or other of which we know nothing, offended the prince - a not very difficult thing in those days. In the year 96 Domitian was killed, and Nerve succeeded him. J uvenal returned to Rome, and about five years afterwards gave to the world a volume of Satires which may probably have been conceived, if they were not executed, during his compulsory absence from the Roman capital. From that time till the end of Trajan's reign, he probably wrote continuously. That the date of his later compositions was at any rate not earlier than this period may be argued from the allusion in the fifth Satire to the banishment of Marius Prisons, which occurred about the commencement of the second century, when Trajan was still upon the throne. How long he lived, and where he died, is all mere matter of conjecture. Mr. Macleane, who is one of the few classical critics that have constructed a life of Juvenal purely from the internal evidence of his writings, has thought it probable that he did not die before the accession of Antoninus Pius in a.d. 138, at which time he would have been eighty years of age.
