In Tristia 2 Ovid claims that he has always been devoted to the emperor. It is mere that he defends both himself and the Ars Amatoria : per mare, per terrain, per tertia numina iuro, per te praesentem conspicuumque deum, hunc animum fauisse tibi, uir maxime, meque, qua sola potui, mente fuisse tuum. optaui, peteres caelestia sidera tarde, parsque fui turbae parua precantis idem, et pia tura dedi pro te, cumque omnibus unus ipse quoque adiuui publica uota meis. quid referam libros, illos quoque, crimina nostra, mille locis plenos nominis esse tui? ( Tristia 2.53-60)
