Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Out of Suetonius’ 12 Caesars, 5 were deified – Julius, Augustus, Claudius, Vespasian and Titus. Upon deification emperors would have had a temple built by their successor (though Nero never finished Claudius’ temple, that was down to Vespasian).
Detailed explanation-2: -The era of the divine ruler extends from the first deification ceremony upon the death of the Emperor Augustus in 14 CE to the conversion of the Emperor Constantine to Christianity in 312-covering about one quarter of the entire history of Rome.
