BiographyHistory

A Roman writer of the Neronian age, identified with Gaius Petronius Arbiter and Titus Petronius. He is credited as the author of the Satyricon, a fragmentary novel featuring a homosexual couple, adapted as a film by Fellini in 1969. Multiple editions of the novel were banned in Australia and the edition translated by Oscar Wilde was placed on restricted circulation in 1936.

Petronius is included in AustLit because his works appear in the Banned in Australia subset.
