Fescennine（adj.）
"粗俗的，淫秽的，下流的"，源自拉丁语 Fescenninus (versus)，一种粗鲁的戏剧或讽刺诗歌形式，来自 Fescennia，这个城市以此类作品而闻名于伊特鲁里亚。
The Fescennine Songs were the origin of the Satire, the only important species of literature not derived from the Greeks, and altogether peculiar to Italy. These Fescennine Songs were rude dialogues, in which the country people assailed and ridiculed one another in extempore verses, and which were introduced as an amusement in various festivals. [William Smith, "A Smaller History of Rome," London, 1870]
Fescennine Songs 是 Satire 的起源，这是唯一一种不源自希腊而完全独特于意大利的重要文学类型。这些 Fescennine Songs 是粗鲁的对话，乡村人民在即兴创作的诗歌中互相攻击和嘲笑，作为各种节日的娱乐节目。[威廉·史密斯，《罗马简史》，伦敦，1870年]
