In Ancient Rome, poetry was a prominent form of literature among the educated class, and Latin was the language in which poetry was most commonly written.
Roman poets such as Virgil, Horace, and Ovid wrote in a variety of poetic forms including epic, elegiac, and lyric poetry. The most famous work of Latin poetry is Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid.
Latin poetry was heavily influenced by Greek poetry, with many Roman poets emulating the styles and themes of Greek poets. However, Roman poetry also incorporated uniquely Roman themes and values, such as patriotism, stoicism, and a reverence for Roman history and mythology.
Latin poetry continued to be written during the Medieval and Renaissance periods, with poets such as Dante and Petrarch writing in Latin as well as their native Italian. However, as Latin became less widely spoken and written, the popularity of Latin poetry waned and it gradually became a more niche form of literature.
