Excerpt from P. Ovidii Nasonis Fastorum Liber Vi: Edited With English Notes However in A. D. 14 Augustus died. Ovid had no hope from Tiberius, his successor, of being suffered to return from banishment. But in 16 the jealousy of Tiberius recalled the victorious Germanicus (his adopted son) from Germany, and sent him to the East. Germanicus was known to be a cultivated man and it was then probably that Ovid recast his first book into its present shape, and prefaced it with a laudatory address to Germanicus. The passage in IV. 80, alluded to above, was then probably written. But most of the allusions to Augustus are left unaltered.
