Powerful family of ancient Rome, which
included Gaius Julius Caesar, whose
grand-nephew and adopted son Augustus assumed
the name of Caesar and passed it on to his
adopted son Tiberius. Henceforth, it was used
by the successive emperors, becoming a title
of the Roman rulers. The titles `tsar' in
Russia and `kaiser' in Germany were both
derived from the name Caesar.
