This article reexamines a textual issue at Ov. Pont. 1.1.41 'scimus ab imperio fieri nil tale Dianae'. Specifically, it proposes the replacement of 'Dianae', whose presence in this context is controversial, with 'Dionae', as a reference to the oracular goddess at Dodona. This suggestion is supported through a comparative analysis with Strabo’s contemporary description of the oracle in Book 7 of his Geography.

Abstract
This article reexamines a textual issue at Ov. Pont. 1.1.41 'scimus ab imperio fieri nil tale Dianae'. Specifically, it proposes the replacement of 'Dianae', whose presence in this context is controversial, with 'Dionae', as a reference to the oracular goddess at Dodona. This suggestion is supported through a comparative analysis with Strabo’s contemporary description of the oracle in Book 7 of his Geography.File in questo prodotto:
