BCE due to neglect of the gods Augustus’ revival: massive construction, revival of rituals and cults Expansion of empire  increasing contact with other cultures and religious syncretism Foreign gods recognized as Roman ones

Benevolent Society of Diana and Antinous, Lanuvium, 136 CE: Meet once/month, special feasts, rituals ~Social club offering companionship and assurance of decent burial “… if a slave member of this society dies … a token funeral ceremony will be held” Were there limitations? Inscription from altar in Lanuvium: MAVORTIO SACR[?]. HOC SIGNUM A SERVO TANGI NEFAS EST. “Sacred(?) to Mars. It is unlawful for this image to be touched by a slave.”
