Summary/Abstract: The French philologist Gaston Boissier devoted a study to Roman society in the age of Caesar, entitled “Cicero and His Friends”. Following the example of this distinguished scholar of Roman antiquity, this article will explore the world of Ovid’s friends and, in certain contexts, examine the condition of the Roman aristocracy under Augustus and Tiberius. Ovid’s exile poetry holds not only documentary significance for Romanians but also serves as a valuable source of information on certain historical events and notable individuals.
