3 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Caesar \C[ae]"sar\, n. [L.] A Roman emperor, as being the successor of Augustus C[ae]sar. Hence a kaiser, or emperor of Germany, or any emperor or powerful ruler. See {Kaiser}, {Kesar}. Malborough anticipated the day when he would be servilely flattered and courted by C[ae]sar on one side and by Louis the Great on the other --Macaulay. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: Caesar n : conqueror of Gaul and master of Italy (100-44 BC) [syn: {Caesar}, {Julius Caesar}, {Gaius Julius Caesar}] From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: Caesar the title assumed by the Roman emperors after Julius Caesar. In the New Testament this title is given to various emperors as sovereigns of Judaea without their accompanying distinctive proper names (John 19:15; Acts 17:7). The Jews paid tribute to Caesar (Matt. 22:17), and all Roman citizens had the right of appeal to him (Acts 25:11). The Caesars referred to in the New Testament are Augustus (Luke 2:1), Tiberius (3:1; 20:22), Claudius (Acts 11:28), and Nero (Acts 25:8; Phil. 4:22).
