''Medicamina Faciei Femineae'' (''Cosmetics for the Female Face'', also known as ''The Art of Beauty'') is a didactic poem written in elegiac couplets by the Roman poet Ovid. In the hundred extant verses, Ovid defends the use of cosmetics by Roman women and provides five recipes for facial treatments. ==Background== The title and approximate date of the poem are known from a brief mention in another of Ovid's works, ''Ars Amatoria'', in the third book of which the poet states that he has already written "a small work, a little book" on ''medicamina'', or cosmetics.〔Ovid ''Ars Amatoria'' 3.205–6〕 The ''Medicamina'' must then predate the third book of ''Ars Amatoria'', a work whose composition has been variously placed between 1 BC and AD 8, the year of Ovid's exile. Only one hundred of an estimated five to eight hundred original lines survive. These fall neatly into sections, each exactly fifty lines long. The first section is an elaborate introduction in which Ovid introduces and defends his subject matter; the second comprises five recipes for cosmetic treatments which include common ingredients and precise measurements.
