Flamen Divi Julii
In Roman Imperial cult, the ''flamen Divi Julii'' or ''flamen Divi Iulii'', was the priest of the divinised Julius Caesar,〔In the municipalities the office was sometimes also called ''flamen Divi Iuli'' (old Republican genitive case), ''flamen Iulialis'', ''flamen Iulianus'', ''flamen Caesaris'' and ''flamen Divi Caesaris perpetuus'', maybe also generalized as ''sacerdos Caesaris''.〕 and the fourth of the so-called ''flamines maiores'' (the archpriests of the Roman flaminates) to be created. The new flaminate was established in by the Roman senate in 42 BC, as part of Caesar's consecration as a divus (divinity of the Roman State) two years after his assassination. Caesar had, in his lifetime, been the recipient of unofficial, divine cult from his supporters, and had designated Mark Antony to serve as his priest. Caesar's cult continued after his death, and in 40 BC, the senate confirmed Antony as the first ''flamen Divi Iulii''.
==Origin and attributes of the office==
In early 44 BC the Senate had decided that Caesar would receive an official apotheosis to state god and be given the god name ''Divus Iulius''. During the same session the inauguration of the respective priestly office was also decreed and Mark Antony designated as the first ''flamen Divi Iulii''.〔Lucius Claudius Cassius Dio Cocceianus, ''Roman History'' (44.4–6 ); Marcus Tullius Cicero, ''Philippics'' (2.110 ), (13.41 ) & (13.47 )〕 The original rationale for the creation of a new ''flamen maior'' can be found in early Roman history, when legendary king Numa fathered the third great flamen, the ''flamen Quirinalis'', archpriest of the god Quirinus, who was later identified as the ascended Romulus, once the latter's brutal slaying by the senators had been virtually forgotten. Since Julius Caesar, the founder of the new Rome, had often been identified with the original founder Romulus, he regarded Numa's theopolitics as a precedent for introducing his own ''flamen maior'' for the time following his planned apotheosis.〔Richard D. Draper, ''The Role of the Pontifex Maximus and its Influence in Roman Religion and Politics'', Ann Arbor 1988, pp. 337–341〕
