<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 7831421, member: 75482&quot;]There was a Western Turk king of either Kabul or Ghazni in the 8th century who styled himself <i>Fromo Kesaro</i>, phonetically &quot;Roman Caesar&quot;, on his coins. &quot;Fromo Kesaro&quot; is inscribed on the coin below in Bactrian, using cursive Greek letters (obverse margin, 1h to 6h). It is speculated that he was granted the honorific title of Caesar by the Byzantine emperor for his assistance in battle against the Arabs (image courtesy CNG).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345734[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>As already noted, the Russian title Czar/ Tsar is actually &quot;Caesar&quot;, originally granted by Justinian II to the Bulgarian emperor in 705. Fromo Kesaro was probably a contemporary of Leo III or Constantine V.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
