Satire (satura) as a spacific genre was established in Rome. The first real example is by Ennius (ca 200 BCE). However the landmark example for later satirists came from Gaius Lucilius from about 133 BCE. The best known ones are Horace, Perseus and Juvenal from 1st Centuries BCE and CE. That is purist satura, which is different from the word satire which we use today essentially taking the Mick out of people/events - of folly and vice. The latter can be found earlier in Homeric parodies, Aesop's fables, Aristophanes' comedies, as well as in such later Roman writers as Ovid, Tacitus and Lucretius. Roman satire was not necessarily such or even comedy - it ranged from Horace's quet, homely fireside chats to Juvenal's biting critiques.
