71 BCE-20 BCE Virgil

Note: The dates provided (71 BCE–20 BCE) do not match the traditionally accepted dates for Virgil (70 BCE–19 BCE), so I'll flag this discrepancy while providing established facts. Virgil was a Roman poet of the classical era, best known for writing the epic poem the Aeneid. He also composed the Eclogues and the Georgics.
