DelMar delves into the origins of the cult, its development over time, and its significance in the context of Roman society and politics. He examines the various ways in which Augustus was worshipped, including the creation of temples and statues in his honor, and the establishment of religious festivals and rituals dedicated to him. DelMar also considers the implications of this cult for the Roman Empire, particularly in terms of its impact on the relationship between the emperor and his subjects. Overall, The Worship of Augustus Caesar provides a fascinating insight into the religious and political practices of ancient Rome, and sheds light on the enduring legacy of one of its most famous figures.1899.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind-blowing information on religious legend and its political implications
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2012
This is an extensively researched analysis of the relationships between astronomical cycles, religious mythology, and the political use of such by leaders, who were set up as gods in ancient times, with mythological alter-egos to fit. Del Mar's research found that these mythologies to be very ancient, adopted far and wide, and typically of a form that would be very recognizable to anybody familiar with Christianity.

These culminated with the great imperial cult of Augustus Caesar, upon which the title is based. As unearthed by Del Mar's research, the mythology and symbolism of the Augustan cult (which itself had been borrowed) had evidently been co-opted by Christianity, almost to a "T".

This is so scholarly and packed with information it can be tedious to take in from start to finish, and may be best read as a "bathroom read," in bits and pieces, especially the chronology of Aeras, in which fascinating facts and abound, peppered with dryly humorous observations about the absurdity of religious cult behavior.

Once enough people "connect the dots," the great importance and prescience of this work will be better known, as will the reason for its having been buried, as well as the need for the Christian disclaimer at the beginning, which may well have been inserted by Del Mar to save his skin.

Religious history buffs, prepare to have your mind blown.
