About the Book

" L'opposition que les Césars rencontrèrent à Rome, nous l'avons montré, n'était pas républicaine1. Les mécontents acceptaient l'empire, ils ne contestaient pas aux empereurs leur autorité absolue; ils leur demandaient seulement de l'exercer avec plus de douceur et d'humanité, de consulter davantage le sénat, d'écouter l'opinion et de s'accommoder d'une certaine liberté de parler et d'écrire. Ces désirs étaient modérés, et il ne fut pas difficile aux Antonins de les satisfaire. Depuis l'avènement de Nerva jusqu'à la mort de Marc-Aurèle, pendant près d'un siècle, Rome a joui de ce gouvernement tempéré qu'elle souhaitait, et cette époque est restée comme une sorte d'âge d'or dans ses souvenirs. C'est pourtant à l'aurore de ces beaux jours, au moment où Rome devait être le plus sensible à ce bonheur qui lui était inconnu, qu'une voix discordante et emportée s'élève, qui accuse son temps avec une violence inouïe, et qui voudrait nous faire croire que jamais l'humanité n'a été si criminelle ni si misérable. Juvénal est un problème pour nous. Quand on songe qu'il vivait sous Trajan et sous Hadrien, que le siècle qu'il a si maltraité est celui dont les historiens nous font de si grands éloges, on ne sait comment expliquer son amertume, on ne peut rien comprendre à sa colère. Pourquoi s'est-il mis ainsi en contradiction avec tous ses contemporains ? Comment se décider entre eux et lui ? Qui donc trompe la postérité, qui nous a menti, de l'histoire, qui dit tant de bien de cette époque, ou du poète qui en a laissé des tableaux si repoussants ?..."
About the Author: Marie Louis Antoine Gaston Boissier, né à Nîmes le 15 août 1823 et mort à Viroflay le 10 juin 1908, est un historien et philologue français.
