In a work entitled Ovid, Augustus, and a nut tree, Roger Beck (1965) proposed a reading of Nux (“The walnut tree”) as if the poem were an allegory of Ovid's exile. To this end, the scholar collected some passages from the text and interpreted them in the light of Amores and Epistulae ex Ponto. In this paper, from excerpts from the poem Nux, accompanied by our translation proposal to them, we will resume Beck's reasoning, adding to that intertextual analysis several excerpts from the Tristia that also seem to serve as reading keys for the allegory enunciated by the ovidian walnut tree.
