Ovid in Exile

Rating:
Summary: Compiled and written by Romania's foremost expert
Review: Compiled and written by Romania's foremost expert on the ancient history of Dobrogea Adrian Radulescu (former director of the Museum of History and Archeology in Constanta), Ovid In Exile is a informed and deftly presented study of the life and works of the Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso. Born in central Italy in 43 B.C., Naso was an aristocrat and a practitioner of law whose verse (especially his erotic poetry), left an indelible influence in western literature down through the centuries. A welcome addition to Romanian History and Roman Literary Studies, extensive research and unique insights hallmark this thoughtful and very highly recommended examination.
