  Gaius Lucilius -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The reputation which Lucilius enjoyed in the best ages of Roman literature is proved by the terms in which (A Roman statesman and orator remembered for his mastery of Latin prose (106-43 BC)) Cicero and Horace speak of him.
Although Lucilius took no active part in the public life of his time, he regarded it in the spirit of a man of the world and of society, as well as a man of letters.
Most of the satires of Lucilius were written in (A verse line having six metrical feet) hexameters, but, so far as an opinion can be formed from a number of unconnected fragments, he seems to have written the trochaic tetrameter with a smoothness, clearness and simplicity which h never attained in handling the hexameter.

Horace, a prominent poet of ancient Rome, lived during the Golden Age of Latin literature in the 1st century bc.
Horace’s early writings include Satires (Book I was published in 35 bc, Book II in 30 bc), in which he imitated the critical style of Gaius Lucilius, a satirist of the 2nd century bc.
Horace also published odes and lyric poems, and is perhaps best known for his Odes (23 bc), a collection of short poems famous for their irony and refinement.

 Roman Satire - Stephen Thomas
Gaius Lucilius is often referred to by our writers: the reason for this is that he, in their opinion, was the writer who set the standard for others to follow and develop.
Though Lucilius is to be praised for the spirit of his writing, he has his faults, not least of them his lack of discipline, and his propensity for using Greek, when Latin can produce as good an effect.
Lucilius’ style would not be acceptable in the Rome of Horace’s day: he would have to edit his work.

 Latin Literature
Cassius Hemina and Lucius Calpurnius Piso have been already mentioned; more intimately connected with Scipio are Gaius Fannius, the son-in-law of Laelius, and Lucius Caelius Antipater, who reached, both in lucid and copious diction and in impartiality and research, a higher level than Roman history had yet attained.
Literary culture became part of the ordinary equipment of a statesman; a crowd of Greek teachers, foremost among them the eminent philosopher, afterwards Master of the Portico, Panaetius of Rhodes, spread among the Roman upper classes the refining and illuminating influence of Greek ideas and Attic style.
Gaius Lucilius was a member of a wealthy equestrian family, and thus could associate on equal terms with the aristocracy, while he was removed from the necessity, which members of the great senatorian houses could hardly avoid, of giving the best of their time and strength to political and administrative duties.

Persius said that Lucilius "lashed the city, and broke his jaw." Juvenal said that he had a hot temper and never hesitated to speak his mind.

The first complete study of Roman verse satire to appear since 1976 provides a fresh and exciting survey of the field.
Rather than describing satire's history as a series of discrete achievements, it relates those achievements to one another in such a way that, in the movement from Lucilius, to Horace, to Persius, to Juvenal, we are made to sense, and see performed, the increasing pressure of imperial oversight in ancient Rome.

This book describes the genre's numerous shifts in focus and tone over several centuries (from Lucilius to Juvenal) not as mere 'generic adjustments' that reflect the personal preferences of its authors, but as separate chapters in a special, generically encoded story of Rome's lost, and much lionized, Republican identity.
Freedom exists in performance in ancient Rome: it is a 'spoken' entity.
