Open worship of the Roman Emperor with sacrifice, priests, altar
and temple was in theory contrary to official policy in Rome. The
cult of the living emperor by less direct means, however, might be
achieved in various ways: the offering of cult to his companion
"genius" or the divine "numen" immanent within him; the elevation
of the Imperial house to a level at which it became godlike; the
formal placing of the emperor on a par with the gods by making
dedications to him "ut deo"; the conversion of divinities of every
kind into Augustan gods that served as the Emperor's helper and
protector; the creation of Augustan Blessings and Virtues that
personified the qualities and benefactions of the emperor. Volume
II, 2 completes the preliminary set of studies with a select
bibliography, indexes and corrigenda to Vols. I, 1-2 and II, 1.
