    (Translated by Google) He was a Roman poet, who, due to the formal perfection of his style, humor and creative fantasy, became one of the classics of Latin literature, together with Horatiu and Virgil. Augustus decides to exile Ovid to Tomis, on the distant shore of the Black Sea. The reasons for the exile are still shrouded in mystery. Ovid himself wrote that the reason was "carmen et error", a poem and a mistake. (Original) A fost poet roman, care, datorită perfecțiunii formale a stilului, umorului și fanteziei creatoare a devenit unul dintre clasicii literaturii latine, alături de Horațiu și Virgiliu. Augustus hotărăște exilarea lui Ovidiu la Tomis, pe țărmul îndepărtat al Mării Negre. Motivele exilului sunt până astăzi învăluite de mister. Ovidiu însuși scria că motivul ar fi fost „carmen et error”, o poezie și o greșeală.

    (Translated by Google) This statue, originally dedicated to the poet Ovidius, who was born during the Roman Empire on the present land of Italy, but who died in exile in Tomis (a district of present-day Quasi), was built in the mid-1800s and is in the middle of the city. Behind the old municipality the current Museum building stands with all its majesty. The bronze sculpture is quite photogenic with this historical museum building. The sculpture already adorns the middle of a huge square. Walking distance to all the tourist attractions of the Constellation. (Original) Esasen şu anki İtalya topraklarında Roma Imparatorluğu döneminde doğmuş ama Tomis (şu anki Köstencenin bir bölgesi) sürgünde ölmüş Şair Ovidius a ithaf edilerek 1800lü yıllarda yapılmış bu heykel şehrin tam ortasında. Arkasında eski Belediye şu anki Müze binası tüm haşmetiyle duruyor. Bronz heykel bu tarihi müze binası ile birlikte oldukça fotojenik bence. Zaten heykel koskocaman bir meydanın ortasını da süslüyor. Köstencenin tüm turistik noktaları da yürüyüş mesafesinde.

    A very nice, open space. Too bad there are no trees or green spaces where the benches are, to enjoy the summer breeze.

    (Translated by Google) The statue was in place. Slightly tidy square ... a pity for the few dilapidated buildings..around the square..including the museum of architecture..what is about to fall .. (Original) Statuia era la locul ei. Piața usor îngrijită...păcat de cele câteva clădiri in paragina..din jurul pieței..inclusiv muzeul de arhitectura..ce sta sa cadă..

    Another must see . Read at least a little bit of OVIDIU the roman poet exiled in Tomis , you'll love it ! Some OVID Quotes courtesy of Google : Poetry comes fine-spun from a mind at peace. Habits change into character. Fortune and love favor the brave. If you want to be loved, be lovable. Time the devourer of all things. Let others praise ancient times; I am glad I was born in these. Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop. Love is a kind of warfare. The result justifies the deed. It is a kingly act to assist the fallen.

😐 You can have a good time if you don't need to go to the bathroom, because there are only 2 public toilets, which are absolutely abysmal. I won't say anything about them, just make sure to find another way to take care of this before going to the beach. There are also no showers. The prices for the...
