Description:... "The author studies the historical environment in Tomis and the surrounding area into which the Roman poet was exiled, giving the reader an insight into the land and people living in the area where the great Roman bard lived his final years. Ovid spent the last eight years of his life, from 9-17 A.D., in Tomis where he was buried with honors at the city gate. It was also during his exile that he wrote two of his most important literary works, Tristia and Ex Ponto. The author also analyzes the impact of Ovid's work on posterity."--BOOK JACKET.
