>we lost most of the Satyricon. That shit is fire.
You know I don't think it was that good and I don't think he himself wrote it - it was so-so, don't get me wrong. BUT it fucking pales by comparison to what Arbiter himself likely 'would' have written; imagine a guidebook to the dining etiquette of the court of nero, from that beautiful middleline between epicureanism, hedonism and hard soldiers discipline.

Coolest part though is for lacking a book about it we get to write it ourselves.

My view is that 'if' he wrote it, it was a novel he wrote as a kid, like Martials early unknown works which he thought were so-so and unrefined.
