Roman Exile refers to the practice of banishing individuals from the city of Rome and its territories, often as a punishment for political crimes or moral failings. This form of exile was a common legal penalty in ancient Rome, allowing the state to remove perceived threats without resorting to execution. Exiles were typically sent to remote locations, where they could live under restricted conditions. Notable figures, such as the poet Ovid, experienced Roman Exile, which significantly impacted their lives and works. Exile could last for a specific period or be permanent, depending on the severity of the offense and the decisions of the ruling authorities.
