Caesars
The word "Caesar" was
originally the name of an aristocratic patrician family of
ancient Rome, the most famous being the dictator Julius
Caesar who seized power when Rome was still a republic. The
adopted son of Julius Caesar was Octavian who became the
first Roman Emperor, taking the name Augustus Caesar, and
all of the successors in the family used the name Caesar.
The term became synonymous with the Roman Emperors and each
succeeding emperor retained the name "Caesar" as part of
their title.
