Abstract
This paper deals with the possible connection between Juv. vii 53-71 and some topoi of Horace's poetry. The crisis of Maecenatism, lamented strongly by Juvenal in the seventh satire, would be thus emphasized through continuous references to the poet, who had appreciated so much the cultural function of Maecenas himself. The lines 62-63 satur est cum dicit Horatius t'euhoe’ could aim expressly at the satyrical production of Horace, and suggest, maybe polemically, an alternative etymology of the term 'satura'.
