Neocorate
A neocorate was a rank or dignity granted by the Roman Senate and the Emperor under the Empire to certain cities which had built temples to the Emperor or had established cults of members of the Imperial family. The city itself was referred to as ''neokoros'' (pl. ''neokoroi''). A temple dedicated to the emperor was also called ''neocorate''.〔Christopher Howgego, Volker Heuchert, Andrew Burnett, eds., ''Coinage and Identity in the Roman Provinces'', ''passim''〕 Starting in the 2nd century CE, the title appeared on many coins.〔Howgego, p. 127〕
The term was first used as a title for a city for Ephesus and its Temple of the Sebastoi.〔Steven J. Friesen, ''Imperial Cults and the Apocalypse of John'', 2001, p. 43-55〕 There were approximately 37 cities holding the neocorate, concentrated in the province of Asia, but also in neighboring provinces.〔''Supplementum epigraphicum graecum'', 54:695〕
==Etymology==
A ''neokoros'' (νεώκoρος or νεωκόρος) was a sort of warden or sacristan of a temple, probably derived from νεώς 'temple' + κορέω 'to sweep', thus literally a temple-sweeper.〔Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, Henry Stuart Jones, ''A Greek–English Lexicon''〕
