Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book studies the "Lex Julia et Papia Poppaea," legislation passed by Augustus Caesar in the Roman Empire to address declining population rates and boost citizen morale. The author provides historical context, analyzing the legislation within the context of ancient Roman social and political ideals. The book examines how the laws attempted to encourage marriage and childbearing, from forbidding the unmarried from holding certain positions of power and influence to offering financial incentives to those who started families. The author also discusses the challenges to enforcing the legislation, the behaviors that persisted despite the laws like the pursuit of wealth at the expense of raising families, and the eventual failure of the laws to reverse declining birth rates. This book is important as it provides insight into one of the most important, ambitious, and ultimately failed early attempts at government intervention into population growth, and what it says about human nature and family values that are still relevant today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
