The Statue of Ovidius, Bronze monument in Ovidiu Square, Constanța, Romania.
The bronze statue portrays the Latin poet with a scroll in hand, standing atop a pedestal inscribed with text commemorating his legacy.
Italian sculptor Ettore Ferrari created this monument in 1887, marking the location where the exiled Roman poet Ovid spent his final years.
The statue represents Romania's connection to Latin literature, as Ovid composed works like Tristia and Epistulae Ex-Ponto during his exile in ancient Tomis.
The monument stands near the Museum of National History and Archaeology, offering visitors access to additional exhibits about Roman heritage.
During World War I, occupying forces removed the statue, but German troops later restored it to prevent its destruction.
