[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 8080942, member: 91461"]I think the easiest thing to do is to refer to them as Augustii and Caesars. If they proclaimed themselves Augustus and someone took the time to put that on a coin 2,000 years ago, then they had enough friends to be that... for a short while at least. There were plenty of imperators before Caesar. It was just a military title and didn't mean what we use it for today.[/QUOTE]
