Abstract: (Satyricon - wandering towards the marginality of being) Satyricon, even if it’s held up fragmentarily, impresses both as architecture, language, characters structure and as the realism of the mentioned issues, Petronius proving himself as a fine and avid observer of the society. Cena Trimalchionis gives us the opportunity of observing all the anomalies of society, a fallen one, whose members seem to manage themselves naturally, succeeding in crossing all the barriers of human society without any kind of remorse. Under the guidance of Eumolpus, an unsuccessful poet in search of glory, Encolpius experiences total decay, assuming both the role of a fugitive slave but also the role of an old man slave in Crotona without any heirs, embodied by Eumolpus. This current study aims, through a typical analyse of the Petronian novel, to point out that the entire novel is a vast journey, which takes place both physically and psychologically and morally, a true outer and inner wandering of the characters who are looking and testing their limits at a dizzying pace. Being dissatisfied with the values of their world, they are searching for complementary ways of living to fit to their structure, marking and changing with every single place of their journey.
