Produktbeschreibung
The novel plays with the existing, still unsolved, historical mysteries surrounding the reasons behind the banishment of the Antiquity's great Latin poet, Ovid, to Tomis, a Greek colony by the Black Sea, as well as the circumstances of his death there and the location of his tomb.
