Restoring ancient morals
#3
What's paradoxical? The idea was not to reinstate a nonexistant major punishment for adultery, but to make a dent on adultery which was much less of a case in the earlier republic. By all measures Augustus' programme worked, in terms of renewed sense of severity and incorruptibility.
Multi viri et feminae philosophiam antiquam conservant.
