H e expected m en to join it, but m any people did not want to fight in wars. This m ade Cladius furious. Cladius thought that if m en were not m arried, they would not m ind joining the army. So C ladius decided not to allow any m ore marriages. 55. D id you think this law was cruel? V. O f course, I did. I thought it was cra zy! 56.
