<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 7850736, member: 91461&quot;]Though I&#039;ve a lot of coins from Moesia, don&#039;t have any from Tomis.</p><p>As you pointed out, Ovid said he was banished due &quot;a poem and mistake&quot;. It&#039;s pretty universaly thought the poem was his, &quot;The Art of Love&quot;, which Augustus was very vocally against... but he released that in 2 CE, the same year he exiled his only child Julia the elder. Though, Augustus didn&#039;t exile Ovid until 8 CE!</p><p>The running theories are that Augustus didn&#039;t find out about Ovid&#039;s dealings with Julia until years later (after all, Julia had been getting away with her scandalous behavior for years until someone was brave enough to tell him). Or that Ovid had actually found out about or witnessed an indiscretion of Augustus. And Augustus was so powerful that it was OVID&#039;S MISTAKE!</p><p>All stuff for the front page of the Roman enquirer!</p><p>Anyways, here&#039;s the little trolup with his wife, the other Julia Augustus:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1351925[/ATTACH]</p><p>Posthumous Coinage of Augustus</p><p>Julia Daughter of Augustus by his first wife Scribonia.
