Abstract
This chapter focuses on the ideology of Augustus with respect to his marriage legislation and the illusion it created of a values crisis in ancient Rome. It also examines the writings of Musonius Rufus, Galen, and Achilles Tatius’s novel Leucippe and Clitophon. It concludes that procreation was the reigning ideological state apparatus in the Roman Empire, and that Augustus’s marriage legislation is still affecting our sexual ethics in the modern world.
