Tibullus
![[[Lawrence Alma-Tadema](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/Tibullus.jpg)
Little is known about the life of Tibullus. There are only a few references to him by later writers and a short ''Life'' of doubtful authority. Neither his ''praenomen'' nor his birthplace is known, and his gentile name has been questioned. His status was probably that of a Roman ''eques'' (so the ''Life'' affirms), and he had inherited a considerable estate. Like Virgil and Propertius, he seems to have lost most of it in 41 BC in the confiscations of Mark Antony and Octavian. Provided by Wikipedia
