Abstract

Augustus introduced many new laws influencing the internal life of the Roman families and under certain aspects subordinating individuals to public control. The most important were the lex Iulia de maritandis ordinibus and the lex Papia Poppaea. A new inscription from Troesmis at the lower Danube shows that Augustus tried to intensify the control formulated in the lex de maritandis ordinibus already in 5 AD by the proposition of the draft of a lex, called commentarius, published on 28 June. But by a strong resistance of larger parts of the Roman society he suffered a severe setback which he could only overcome several years after by the lex Papia Poppaea, which had more or less the same content as the commentarius. The aim of these social laws introduced by Augustus was essentially to increase the number of Roman citizens.
