"A common theme in the news today is how it is becoming increasingly common for the younger generations to snub the tradition of getting married and having children. This has led to scare stories about population shrinkage and the problem of aging populations. This phenomenon isn’t all that new, however. In 18 BC Rome’s first emperor, Augustus, tasked himself with tackling a similar problem. Especially in the upper classes of Rome, fewer and fewer people were getting married and having children. His solution was to bring in a range of powerful new laws that encouraged marriage and traditional Roman values. One of them, Lex Julia De Adulteriis Coercendis, even allowed Roman fathers to kill their daughters if they were unfaithful, leading to the rise of honor killings in Ancient Rome."
