The year 9 BC was a time long ago, before the modern calendar we use today. It was part of the Julian calendar, which was used by the Roman Empire. Back then, people often named years after important leaders called Consuls. So, 9 BC was known as the "Year of the Consulship of Drusus and Crispinus."
