Resumen de Graeca urbs. Maestri e letterati greci a Roma al tempo di Ovidio
The paper aims at outlining the situation of Greek men of letters in Rome at Ovidius’ time, identifying the main categories (poets, grammarians, rhetoricians, historians, philosophers) and the most representative figures. The number of these men of letters, their relationships with Roman aristocracy, with the court and with the Emperor himself show that they played an important role in Roman high society at the beginnings of the Empire and that the knowledge of Greek language was more widespread than is usually acknowledged.
