Abstract
summary: This article argues that modern theories of racialization can inform a philological reading of Satyrica 102.14–15 to challenge the prevailing view that Giton's comments about Aethiopians betray no color prejudice. It proves that Giton attaches negative meanings to racialized traits of Aethiopians and expresses anti-black prejudice. In addition, it explains the racecraft of previous readings that have discounted the anti-black tenor of Giton's remarks.
