Fasti
P. Ovidius Naso
esse diu stultus Vestae simulacra putavi,
mox didici curvo nulla subesse tholo:ignis inexstinctus templo celatur in illo,
effigiem nullam Vesta nec ignis habet.
Long did I foolishly think that there were images of Vesta: afterwards I learned that there are none under her curved dome. An undying fire is hidden in that temple; but there is no effigy of Vesta nor of the fire.
