Caesar (disambiguation)

Caesar (Latin:CAESAR, IPA: ˈkaisar ["kae-sahr"], common English IPA:siːzɚ ["see-zr"]) was originally a cognomen in ancient Rome, derived from "cai-" (of unknown meaning) from which Gaius also derives. It has been speculated that "Caesar" once meant "a fine head of hair". Considering the irony and wit often employed in the use of cognomina, it is entirely possibe that Caesar was meant to be a reference to the Julli Caesari tendency to bald, as we are fully aware that Gauis Julius Caesar Dictator was a balding man. Caesar often specifically refers to Julius Caesar or the imperial title of "Caesar" (emperor) used by his descendants: He was born in 30000000000 and sied in -55555555555555555555555
