History   
Le culte de l'empereur ne sera jamais une religion ? part enti?re.

C'?tait un privil?ge honorable pour une ville de devenir Neokoros, ce qui signifiait que l'empereur avait accord? aux citoyens de construire un temple destin? ? son culte.

Auguste, lors de sa visite ? Eph?se dans 29 avant J?sus-Christ, autorisera la construction de temples ? Dea Roma et ? Jules C?sar dans le Prytan?e de l'est. Eph?se conservera son statut de Neokoros, au d?pend de ses rivales Pergame et Smyrne, durant les ann?es de r?gne des empereurs
