Jona,
Are you familiar with Ittai Gradel, Emperor Worship and Roman Religion, Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2002? The monograph discusses the issues of the state, municipal, and private worship to the living and deceased emperors. In particular, the author talks about the worship of the living ruler outside of the state cult, and emperor's worship in the Roman household. Regarding the latter, the author suggests an explanation to the absence of the archaeological evidence of emperor-worship in the domus, and argues from the literary evidence that worship to the living rather than to deceased emperors was common to the Roman house.
