'''Decimus Junius Juvenalis''' -- generally known as Juvenal -- was a Roman satirist who lived in the first and second centuries AD -- roughly from the time of Nero to the time of Hadrian. He's perhaps best known as the originator of the phrases, "Who will watch the watchmen?"<ref>''Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?''</ref> and "bread and circuses."<ref> ''panem et circenses''</ref> He lends his name to the brand of satire known as [[Captain Obvious|Juvenalian]], which consists of scathing attacks on people and things the writer considers to be evil.▼
