In a new story in two parts, Virginie Girod tells you the story of this poet of love forced into exile, for a mysterious reason. Ovid was born in -43 BC.
He belongs to the equestrian order, the small aristocracy. At the top of the social hierarchy is the senatorial order. Ovide's family had dreams of social ambitions and provided the young man with an excellent education. He is part of the last generation of great Roman elegiac poets, who leave more room for the feeling of love.
