This Day in Ancient History

On this day in 43 AD, the great poet Ovid, Publius Ovidius Naso, is born in Sulmo, to a family with money. Sulmo is now known as Sulmona and is about 75 miles east northeast from Rome.

Also on this day but in 59 AD, Agrippina Minor is killed through the order of her son, the Emperor Nero, Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. See Acts 25: 10-12. The Caesar mentioned there is Nero.
