The correct option is: "Juvenalian satire"

Juvenalian satire was a Roman poet, active at the end of the 1st century and the beginning of the 2nd century, author of sixteen satires. The details of the author's life are confusing, although references in his text to people known at the end of the 1st century and the beginning of II set their terminus post quem (date of earlier composition).

In keeping with the vitriolic style of Lucilius, creator of the genre of Roman satire, and within a poetic tradition that also includes Horace and Persius, Juvenal wrote at least 16 poems in a dactyl hexameter encompassing an encyclopedic set of topics from around the Roman world . While satires are a vital source for the study of ancient Rome from a vast number of perspectives, its comic, hyperbolic form of expression makes, at least, problematic the use of the affirmations found in them. At first sight, satires can be read as a brutal criticism of pagan Rome, perhaps for this reason survived in the Christian monastic scriptoria, a bottleneck in conservation where much of the ancient texts perished.
