The Imperial cult of ancient Rome identified emperors and some members of their families with the divinely sanctioned authority (auctoritas) of the Roman State. A deceased emperor held worthy of the honor could bevoted a state divinity (divus) by the Senateand elevated as such in an act of apotheosis.
