They wrote and spoke Latin. Their work is often considered the highpoint of Latin literature and culture along with others like Horace and Lucan. Ovid was a well-known and prolific love poet and composed a famous mythological epic "Metamorphoses". Virgil composed several pastoral poems and crafted an epic known as The Aeneid" and is considered by many (not me) to be the best Roman writer.
