God or goddess of loyalty

[Hugh Fuller]

Now that's an interesting thought; loyalty to the emperor. Given the history of imperial Rome as a military dictatorship, more or less, I am inclined to wonder at that. To me, the real loyalty of a trooper was to his legion first and then to his emperor. And, I suspect, that it hasn't changed all that much over the the intervening millennia, substituting unit for legion and country for emperor.
