Roman politics and religion were inherently linked as the Romansattempted to explain the world and their place within it. As Roman territory expanded and power became consolidated into the hands of oneman, people throughout the empire sought to define their relationship with the emperor by granting honors to him. This collection of practices has been labeled "emperor worship" or "ruler cult," but this tells only half the story: imperial family members also became an important partof this construction of power and almost half of the individuals deified in Rome were wives, sisters, children, and other family members of the emperor. "A Family of Gods" seeks to expand current "ruler cult" discussions by including other deified individuals, and by looking at how communities in the period 44 BCE to 337 CE sought to connect themselves with the imperial power structure through establishing priesthoods and cult practices. It focuses on the priests dedicated to the worship of the imperial family in order to contextualize their role in how imperial power was perceived in the provincial communities and the ways in which communities chose to employ religious practices.

Quelle idée les Romains ont-ils eue de se donner comme fondateur un fratricide ? Ils étaient incapables de rendre compte du crime horrible, contraire aux lois les plus fondamentales du comportement humain, de celui qu'ils avaient pourtant promu au rang des dieux sous le nom de Quirinus. Si Romulus était difficile à comprendre pour les Romains eux-mêmes, il semble possible de l'éclairer en faisant appel à des héros connus ailleurs et qui présentent des traits analogues, en cherchant la réponse du côté de la mythologie comparée. L'auteur met à contribution le monde indoeuropéen, avec notamment le personnage que les Iraniens considéraient comme leur premier roi, ce Yima dont le nom signifie jumeau, ou des souverains, tout aussi légendaires, que les Scandinaves ou les Arméniens situaient au début de leur histoire ; mais d'autres aires culturelles se révèlent également riches d'enseignements, comme le monde biblique avec Jacob qui supplante son jumeau Esaü. Relue à la lumière de ces parallèles, la vie de Romulus apparaît comme l'application à la naissance de Rome d'une antique représentation de la mise en place de l'humanité telle que nous la connaissons, dans un cadre civilisé qui s'est bâti sur le rejet du chaos antérieur.
