Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 0198148259. Book has very light shelfwear else fine. DJ is price-clipped. DJ spine a bit sunned.; This brief and compressed study comprises twelve self-contained chapters and begins by proposing a revised chronology for several works of Ovid. The central theme is Roman social history in the time of Caesar Augustus, revealing Ovid in his milieu and in the ambit of his friendships. Attention is concentrated on the poems from exile, especially the four books of Epistulae ex Ponto, which reveal much more than previously suspected about the last decade of the reign of Augustus. Finally, writing on Ovid's exile, Syme argues that it was not the result of a misdemeanour by the poet, but the blunder of an angry despot--the error of Caesar Augustus.; 240 pages.
