Best Answer

Augustus did not reward Ovid for his poetry. He exiled him to Tomis, on the Black Sea, in 8 AD. The reson for this is unknown. It has been speculated that it was because Ovid's Ars Amatoria also included the subject of adultery. In 18 BC Augustus had introduced marriage laws which aimed at elevating the sexual morals of the aristocracy. One of these laws made adultery a crime.

Why was Augusta the most able emperor of rome?

Augustus managed to be not only the first Emperor, surviving civil war, but he also was one of the longest ruling. While wielding nearly total power, Augustus was careful to at least pretend he was not actually the sole ruler of the Empire. He cloaked his actions by paying token respect to the senate, having them legally give him his powers. He also took title such as "First Citizen" to emphasize he was merely a Roman citizen, albeit one of higher than normal ranking. But his greatest claim as "ablest of the Emperors of Rome" would be in how he managed to maintain peace through the Empire, quelling civil war, encouraging public works, and running a fiscally sensible policy that left the Treasury with a significant surplus. And he did it while not neglecting his own public image, ensuring most of the Roman populace would look on him with not only respect, but genuine affection, even love.

What http://www.answers.com/topic/virgil was to epic poetry, Ovid was to elegiac poetry, and his love poems and instructional works have firmly established him as one of the greatest influences on Western literature. His other works include Amores (3 volumes of love poems), Heroides (fictional letters from a woman to her lovers) and Ars Amatoria (an instructional poem on the art of love). Ovid was prolific and popular in his lifetime and highly regarded by the emperor http://www.answers.com/topic/caesar-augustus, until he was banished from Rome under mysterious circumstances in 8 A.D. Despite public and private entreaties, Augustus (and later, http://www.answers.com/topic/tiberius) refused to forgive Ovid, who finished out his days in Tobis. Answers.com
