240 STUDIES IN ROMAN HISTORY Cimbri " while before the statue of Marius Gratidianus, the mere inheritor of a famous name, incense was burnt and wax tapers lighted. *'^ Already, then, we have the way paved for the Caesar- worship with which we have to deal. In part it was by no means contrary to the spirit of Roman religion ; in part it was not unprepared for by previous events. It is not difficult to understand the impression created on his contemporaries by Julius Caesar, and we are not surpri...sed to find that he received during life, temples, altars, and a flamen to superintend his worship ^^ or even that he was formally addressed as Jupiter Julius. " The formal apotheosis by decree of the senate after his death ^® partly, no doubt, reflected the policy of the triumvirs, ^® but was principally a concession to the enthusiastic persuasion of the populace that he was a god, ^° a persuasion increased by, though not wholly founded on, the various portents which followed his death. ^^ By this time the precedent was fully estab- lished, and we find Sextus Pompeius laying claim to a divine descent from Hercules, while in the east Antonius was figuring as the god Dionysus and committing extravagances which perhaps helped to decide Augustus to maintain the more sober attitude which he adopted.
