Saturae
D. Iunius Iuvenalis
Monstro voluptatem egregiam, cui nulla theatra,nulla aequare queas praetoris pulpita lauti,si spectes quanto capitis discrimine constentincrementa domus, aerata multus in arcafiscus et ad vigilem ponendi Castora nummi,ex quo Mars Ultor galeam quoque perdidit et resnon potuit servare suas.
I am showing you the choicest of diversions, one with which no theatre, no show of a grand Praetor can compare, if you will observe at what a risk to life men increase their fortunes, become possessors of full brass-bound treasure-chests, or of the cash which must be deposited with watchful Castor, ever since Mars the Avenger lost his helmet and failed to protect his own effects.
