SUMMER 2024
We are pleased to say that the Classical Church of Byzantium Novum has continued to provide regular official representation for the Imperial Cult. Rites have continued to be done regularly and sacerdotes of the Imperial Cult have been appointed to their Classical Church. The Imperial Cult is alive and well there and we hope that the Divii Imperii (Divine Emperors) will continue to find more acceptance in the world and representation by other groups and individuals worldwide. This website continues to be updated - particularly
the Shrine pages for the various Emperors. It is a long project
but we are making progress. Happily we have found a site where
one may virtually "light a candle" to honor the emperors:
https://grateful.org/light-a-candle. The first instructional handbook for the
Roman Imperial Cult remains available on Amazon.com. This work
concerns the Emperor Anastasius I, who was the Emperor of the
Eastern Roman Empire from 491 to 518 AD. The book is available
here:
