# The 1471 Opera prints Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto as public exile letters

Date: 1471

## The fact

The Bologna 1471 Opera includes Tristia and the Pontic letters, the received record of Augustan relegation to Tomis. The dated carrier is that printing. Conventional exile sits in 8 CE and is not a fake ISO autograph here. Carmen et error remains disputed: not upgraded to a proven adultery with Julia.

## Context

Relegation to the Black Sea is a humanitarian-and-speech harm in the received account. Print made the plea public. Confidence is high that the exile poems exist; medium on the unstated error.

[Ovid](/people/ovid) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official library/museum/agency pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

## Significance

An exile book is not a travel brochure. Do not invent Julia as a Fact.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. The attached driver is [humanitarian-access](/drivers/humanitarian-access). The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
