I remember reading from one of Adrian Goldsworthy's books that the prestige of a Roman conquest was based more on the sophistication and power of the conquered people than on the sheer amount of land that Rome acquired. If you ask any average person in a Western country if they can name a Roman, they would likely name Caesar, and it's also striking that so many leaders from history referred to themselves as Caesars - the Prussian and Austrian Kaisers, Russian Tzars, I just read a bio of Charles V and he referred to himself as "Caesar." Even the Roman emperors would call themselves Caesars. The current rotation is:Ĭaesar is clearly the most well-known Roman.
