Sumario:This article studies how the books 12 to 14 of the Ovide Moralisé carry an important political message and intend to be a kind of principis regimen. Recent studies on the translation of Ovidian Metamorphosis at the beginning of the 14th century haven’t taken into account this opinion, concentrating on the predication book hypothesis. In the books 12 to 14 where the Trojan myth and the narration of the new city foundation, Rome are very important. Clergy and rhetoric competence of the characters, especially of Ulysses, prophetic voices (Sybille and Enee), apocalyptic discourses and power imaginary (Moses and mystical wedding) induce a political interpretation. In this way, the analysis of the translation, of the allegorical interpretations and the organization of the manuscript of Rouen BM 0.4 (iconography and structure of the text) enlarge the perspective suggesting a curial and ecclesiological reception
