Classical Roman literature refers to the body of literary works produced in ancient Rome—primarily in Latin, though sometimes in Greek—during the Republic and early Empire (roughly the 3rd century BCE through the 1st–2nd centuries CE) that established the norms and forms of Western letters. It encompasses a wide range of genres—epic and lyric poetry (Virgil, Ovid, Horace), comedy and tragedy (Plautus, Terence), history and biography (Livy, Tacitus), oratory and rhetoric (Cicero), satire (Juvenal, Horace), and philosophical prose (Seneca, Lucretius)—characterized by formal stylistic mastery, reliance on Greek models, attention to civic virtue, myth, and moral inquiry, and polished metrical forms. As a category for books, it denotes texts that are canonical, historically influential, and studied both for their literary artistry and for the light they shed on Roman society, politics, religion, and thought; modern editions and translations of these works are commonly grouped under the heading "Classical Roman literature."
