How did Ovid’s wife help him while he was exiled at Tomis?

During Ovid’s exile at Tomis, his third wife remained in Rome to provide him with vital support. Because his punishment was a form of relegation that did not involve the confiscation of his property or the loss of his citizenship, she was able to use her connections to protect his interests.1

She acted as a crucial intermediary between the poet and the capital, serving as one of the primary channels through which Ovid sent his pathetic pleas for clemency to the emperor. In his works written during this period, such as the Tristia and the Epistulae ex Ponto, Ovid frequently addressed letters to her, documenting his miseries and seeking her continued assistance in his efforts to secure a mitigation of his sentence.12
