New Days, Same "Gods": The Cult of Caesar

  • サマリー

  • In Rome, you worshipped your gods and Caesar, and in fact, this worship was inseparable from Rome’s official deities. It was seen as a treasonous action if you didn’t partake in the Imperial Cult. It was essential to Roman living and the continual prosperity of the Empire. There was even a formal saying that you were often “encouraged” to say: “Caesar is Lord”! Did the Imperial Cult die in 476 AD when the German warlord Odoacer deposed Romulus Augustulus, the last Roman emperor of the West, and Rome crumbled? Evidence shows that actually, no, it didn’t. And it is alive and well today!
