Seen as necessary for the preservation of the civic body, marriage in Rome is a social institution that is not based on love and feelings. As poets of love, Catullus and the Augustan Elegiac poets have a vision of marriage which totally differs from that of moralists and legislators. Catullus tries to imagine a kind of love marriage with Lesbia - clearly impossible in high Roman society. Tibullus and Propertius give much greater importance to heart’s loyalty than to formal marriage. Ovid is provocative, as usual, by openly mocking this institution and the laws promulgated by Auguste on this matter.
