Golden Age of Roman Literature (jan 21, 43 BC – jan 2, 24 BC)
Description:
included writers such as Virgil, Ovid, and Livy and presents a more optimistic perspective than do other ages in Roman literature.Following the Golden Age, in a period known as the Silver Age of Roman literature (14-138 C.E.), writers were limited in their writing by a fear of offending the emperors, a lack of freedom that coincided with the decline in morality and virtue occurring in Roman society; literature from this age often reflects pessimism.
