The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that two passages in Juvenal's Third Satire, verses 29-40 and 152-9, are integrally related and derive much of their meaning from each other. Both loci make reference to Roman spectacles and have as their common theme the injustice of the acquiring of great wealth and high social position by men of base origin who have, directly or indirectly, made their mark through reprehensible activities. In addition, there exist interdependent nuances of meaning that become apparent only when one knows that the figures of the praeco and of the iuvenis, as they appear in these passages, have double interpietations
