Why did Augustus banished Ovid?
The reasons for Ovid's exile are obscure. This has given rise to many speculative explanations based on incorrect interpretations of Ovid's work. Ovid gave obscure and contradictory clues about this. Some historians argue that he never left Rome and that his exile works are just the product of his immigration. One speculation is related to Augustus’ issue of the Julian Marriage Laws in 18 BC which established adultery as a crime punishable with exile and confiscation of property. Fathers could kill their daughters and their partners in adultery. Husbands were required to divorce. Augustus himself was forced to invoke the law against his daughter Julia the Elder and exile her to the island of Pandateria. Ovid wrote poems on the subject of adultery and this may have been regarded as subversive. However, he was exiled 7 years after he published this work. Therefore, it has been suggested that this was an excuse for something more personal. It has also been suggested that Ovid might have known about a conspiracy against Augustus by the husband of his granddaughter, Julia the Younger. Ovid wrote that his exile was “a poem and a mistake” and that his crime was worse than murder and more harmful than poetry.
