When Julius Ceaser was back in Rome after some campaign (whose name escapes
me), an orgy took place at his place while he wasn't around.  His wife,
however, was.  Ceaser divorced her for lewd conduct, even though there was
no definitive evidence she attended.  When challenged, he maintained that
Ceaser's wife must keep a higher standard, and avoid even the appearance of
impropriety.
