page 18 note 1 The honours paid to the deified Emperors must obviously have been modelled on those paid to the older gods. Coins of Divus Augustus show him with attributes of Jupiter and Apollo-Sol—thunder bolt and crown of rays. Again one thinks of Vejovis.

page 18 note 1 e.g. Georgics, iii. 16, iv.559 ff.; on Georgics i. 503 ff. see below.

page 18 note 2 Octavian chose Apollo rather than Venus as his special patron.

page 20 note 1 The detailed argument is reserved for a later article—because of its general nature—in an archaeological journal.
