In 18 BCE , Augustus, the first Roman emperor, passed the lex Iulia de maritandis ordinibus , the “law about the social orders marrying.” Later jurists conflated this with alaw that subsequently refined and completed it, the lex Papia Poppaea , sponsored by consuls of 9 CE . The two came to be known as the lex Iulia and lex Papia . Together they created asystem of rewards for married persons and parents and penalties for the unwed and childless that remained in effect for over two centuries.
