Summary/Abstract: The essay aims to study some specific issues contained in "new laws" (novellae) enacted by Justinian in criminal matters, with particular reference to the offenses against morality and the family, in which the legislator pays particular attention to the degree of punishment, in relation to the personal qualities of the agents. What emerges is a picture that testifies to the emperor particular sensitivity for deviant phenomena capable of undermining the correct moral order and endangering the intimate morality of women.
