Worship was required for the emperor at times, and even heirs and representatives. So, no, it wasn't all that different throughout the entire history of the Imperium.

(See )



The Romans during the Imperior period require worship of the emporer in much the same sense we might demand pledges of allegence to the flag. It is different from threatening infinite torture for all eternity if you don't banish all doubt of any kind of the emperor from every last corner of your heart and mind.
