A poet who wrote in this genre asked that some other soldier "draw his camp on the table in wine" in apoem beginning, "Who was he, who first forged the fearful sword?" The only extant poems by a Romanwoman were written in this form by Sulpicia and grouped with others in this form by Tibullus. Four booksof these poems were written by a member of Maecenas' circle who loved Cynthia, Sextus Propertius. Thispoetic form was used to write letters called the Tristia from exile in Tomis by a poet who also used it in hisAmores.
