Résumé

"The Imperial Cult: Religion, Politics, and Social Identity in Early Rome" by Philip Davies explores the intertwining of religion and politics in the Roman Empire, focusing on the rise and impact of the Imperial Cult. This scholarly work delves into how the deification of the emperor became central to Rome's social and political structure, shaping the empire's identity and reinforcing the emperor's divine authority.
It examines the development of the Imperial Cult from Augustus's reign through its transformation in the wake of Christianity's rise, highlighting its role in consolidating imperial power, maintaining social cohesion, and influencing Roman identity. The book also investigates the resistance to emperor worship, the role of religious syncretism in the provinces, and the eventual decline of the cult in the face of Christianity's ascension.
By analyzing primary sources, historical figures, and religious practices, Davies provides an insightful look at how the Imperial Cult both defined and divided Roman society during its peak.
