Which of the following pairs of authors contributed to the Golden Age of literature during the early Roman Empire?

Cicero was a renowned orator and statesman whose contributions were primarily in rhetoric and philosophy, while Caesar is best known for his military exploits and political leadership. Although both figures were influential in Roman history, their works do not align with the literary contributions characteristic of the Golden Age like those of Virgil and Horace.

While Catullus and Ovid were significant poets, they represent different aspects and periods of Roman literature. Catullus is known for his personal and emotional poetry, and Ovid is famous for "Metamorphoses," which, although influential, does not align as closely with the early Golden Age as the works of Virgil and Horace.

Tacitus was a historian whose works focus on political events, and Juvenal is known for his satirical poetry. While they contributed to Roman literature, their primary focus was on critique and social commentary rather than the poetic and epic forms that defined the early Golden Age, as represented by Virgil and Horace.

Marcellinus is not a widely recognized literary figure, and Augustine, although a significant philosopher and theologian, contributed primarily to Christian literature rather than the classical literary tradition. Their works fall outside the scope of the Golden Age of Roman literature.
