CONSTANTIUS II

THEODOSIAN CODE 9.7.3

Emperors Constantius and Constans to the people: When a male gives himself in marriage to a "woman" [sc. effeminate man], and what he wants is that the "woman" play the male role, where sex has lost its place, where the crime is such that it is better not to know it, where Venus is changed into a different shape, where love is sought but not found, we order laws to arise, justice to be armed with an avenging sword, so that the disgraced persons who are or in future shall be guilty may be subjected to exquisite penalties.
