   Augustus
   In popular culture, the name 'Caesar' is often used as a title for all Roman emperors. This indicates that our popular culture is barbarous in nature. Julius' successor, Octavian, took the title 'Augustus' and soon became known by that title. Thereafter, the reigning emperors were referred to as Augusti, and the title 'Caesar' was used by junior partners. Only in outlying countries was the term 'Caesar' retained for the emperor, which led to the use of titles such as 'Tsar' and 'Czar.'
