Nero, like all Roman emperors, concentrated religious as well as political and military power in his own hands. Like every new emperor, he took over the office of the pontifex maximus, the head of the pontiffs. An important issue of religious debates in the literature of Nero's time was the concept of superstition. After a short introduction to Nero's condemnation of adherents of foreign and false religion, this chapter discusses literary representations of this phenomenon. The emperor cult outside Rome was a combination of traditional local rituals and new impulses. Municipalities were free to choose which festivals of the imperial household they would celebrate and in which ways to pay honor to the imperial family. Religion permeates Petronius' novel Satyrica: it is, therefore, a good case study for the analysis of distinctions between religion and superstitio in the "private" context.
