About Sulmona (Ovid's birthplace)
Sulmona, ancient Sulmo, was a town of the Paeligni people that became a Roman municipium after Rome's expansion into central Italy. It is best known as the birthplace of the poet Ovid, born there in 43 BCE, an origin he referenced in his own verse. The town remained a modest provincial center under Roman rule.
