The author focuses on the rules contained in the Augustan legislation on women that bind to two main policy objectives of the Principate of Augustus: population's growth and the restoration of the costumes. The author conludes as in the realization of these goals, but these are not reflected in the personal life of the Princeps, the woman, in the role of wife and perfect mother, has a position almost "mystical", according to the mystical origins of Octavian, whose mother, Atia according to tradition, was impregnated by Apollo. The Princeps then assigned an ideological purity to the woman who evokes the myth of the Christian Annunciation.
