In 8 CE, Augustus continued to shape the empire politically while ensuring the line of succession. A notable event was the exile of the poet Ovid to Tomis (modern-day Romania) on the Black Sea, for reasons that remain partly mysterious. This exile highlights Augustus’s strict moral and political control, as Ovid’s writings may have conflicted with the emperor’s reforms.
Meanwhile, Roman provinces enjoyed stability, with trade and agriculture fueling prosperity. Tiberius and Germanicus remained key figures in Augustus’s plans. Culturally, Year 8 CE is remembered for the tension between art, politics, and imperial authority.
