Who better to provide dating advice for women than Venus, the goddess of love herself? In the Ars Amatoria, a Latin 3-part poem written by the Roman poet Ovid in 2 AD, Venus is invoked to share her wisdom with women looking to find and keep a lover in ancient Rome. This captivating guide reveals how Roman women navigated the complexities of love and relationships, offering insights and tips that still resonate today.

From where to meet potential lovers to how to present oneself and communicate effectively, the Ars Amatoria covers all aspects of finding and keeping a partner. Ovid's advice is both practical and insightful, and he even addresses how to protect a marriage from potential threats. Although some of the advice may seem antiquated or manipulative, much of it is still relevant and can be applied to modern relationships.

Drawing wisdom from Book 3 of Ovid's Ars Amatoria, this video caters specifically to women, offering timeless guidance on love and relationships. After exploring the male perspective in Book 1 and the secrets of a happy relationship in Book 2, we finally arrive at this comprehensive guide for women. Ensure you check out the Books 1 and 2 if you haven't already!

The original Latin poem has been transformed into a practical guide for women looking to find and keep a lover. While the content has been preserved, it is not a straightforward Latin to English translation.

Join us on a journey through ancient Roman dating and relationships and discover timeless wisdom that can still be applied in today's world.
