[Verginius Rufus]

There is a passage in Julius Caesar's Gallic War about the Germans, where he states "those who have remained chaste the longest win the highest praise among their own people...They consider it a matter for shame to have sexual intercourse with a woman before reaching the age of 20..." (6.21).

There is some similar material in Tacitus, Germania 20 (sera juvenum Venus).

[Antoninus]

There is a passage in Julius Caesar's Gallic War about the Germans, where he states "those who have remained chaste the longest win the highest praise among their own people...They consider it a matter for shame to have sexual intercourse with a woman before reaching the age of 20..." (6.21).

How the mighty have fallen...
