Answer: Ancient Rome.
Explanation:
Though satire started with the ancient Greeks, it only came into its own in ancient Rome. The founders of satire, Horace and Juvenal, gave their names to the basic kinds of satire.
Alexander Pope followed the tradition of Horatian satire, which playfully and humorously examines social issues.
Such as in his book Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift used Juvenalian satire, which is more disdainful and harsh than the Horatian, to develop a commentary on contemporary English society.
