re: Post a random fact or piece of trivia in this thread

Caesar was just Julius Caesar's last name. It wasn't a word, it didn't mean anything before him. He was so great a ruler that following rulers just named themselves after him. Even in other empires, German Kaiser and Russian Czar come from Caesar. To this day US executive branch appoints "Czars". So 2000 years later we're still just naming rulers after this one guy.
