However, back in the Roman Empire, things were quite different. Augustus Caesar was a Pagan emperor who brought back strict legislation to limit divorce. Constantine was the first Christian Caesar in the history of the Roman Empire. Yet, he still passed laws that restricted divorce across the Roman Empire. Both emperors passed…
