<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Heliodromus, post: 7831619, member: 120820&quot;]It&#039;s interesting, and confusing, how the term &quot;caesar&quot; was used in the later empire... More title than name, but certainly not a rank since it was retained by the heir once he became emperor, but only then(?) would he be *called* caesar by the masses. I&#039;m not sure there&#039;s any modern equivalent.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m always tempted to think of the emperor as &quot;augustus&quot;, but I suppose that&#039;s really just an honorfic and &quot;caesar&quot; (cf tsar) seems closer to a title of &quot;emperor&quot;, despite also being the title of the heir(s) in waiting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
