<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7830862, member: 19463"]Julian II was Caesar under Constantius II until his promotion in 361 AD. When Valentinian took over, his underlings were given the title Augustus even when it was obvious that they were not as 'Augustus' as he was. The distinction between the two levels had been causing troubles since Caesar was first given to an adult not related to the Augustus (even by adoption). Eliminating it made sense IMO. While Caesar as a title lived on into the 20th century (Kaisar Wilhelm II died in 1941) and I have known half a dozen people named Caesar, I believe the answer that best works here is Julian II.</p><p>DN IVLIANVS NOB CAES</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345501[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Were there any later Augusti who also used Caesar as part of their string of titles?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
