minus-squarerudyharrelson@lemmy.radiolinkfedilinkarrow-up40·3 months ago There’s only 1 Caesar Not necessarily. I originally thought the phrase “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s” from the Bible referred to Julius Caesar, but apparently it refers to Tiberius. Though in modern times “Caesar” almost ubiquitously is referencing Julius

minus-squareUPGRAYEDD@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoAnd the title of Caesar more rightfully translated would be “God King”. It implied divinity and super human levels of being. God being a roman god, not the christian god. So not omnipotent, omnipresent, or omniscient. But still divine.
