Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Tibullus at Delia's. Albius Tibullus (c. 55 BC – c. 19 BC) was a Latin poet and writer of elegies.His first and second books of poetry are extant; many other texts attributed to him are of questionable origins.
Sulpicia is believed to be the author, in the first century BCE, of six short poems (some 40 lines in all) written in Latin which were published as part of the corpus of Albius Tibullus's poetry (poems 3.13-18). She is one of the few female poets of ancient Rome whose work survives.
By the time Tibullus wrote these poems, Delia (Tibullus's girlfriend in book 1) had disappeared, and another woman called Nemesis had taken her place. Tibullus says he has been in love with her for a year (2.5.119). She is named after Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution. Like Delia, Nemesis appears to have been a high-class courtesan.
His elegies, five of them concerning a girl named Neaera, are preserved in the Appendix Tibulliana alongside the apocryphal works of Tibullus. In poem 5, line 6, he describes himself as young and in 5.18 gives his birth year as the year "when both consuls died by equal fate" (that is, 43 BC). [ 2 ]
Later, Ovid adopted the city of Rome as his home, and began celebrating the city and its people in a series of works, including Amores. [6] Ovid's work follows three other prominent elegists of the Augustan Era, notably Gallus, Tibullus, and Propertius. [6] Under Augustus, Rome underwent a period of transformation.

Propertius published a first book of love elegies around 30 BC, with the character 'Cynthia' as the main theme; [14] the book's complete devotion gave it the natural title Cynthia Monobiblos. The Monobiblos must have attracted the attention of Maecenas , a patron of the arts who took Propertius into his circle of court poets.
