I think perhaps you need to read a book on it. I've been a student of ancient history for many years. Caesar was just a name until julius made himself an emperor...it was a democracy before him, there was no "Caesar" there was a Senate.

Caesar (plural Caesars; Latin: Caesar, plural: Caesares) is a title of imperial character. It derives from the cognomen of Julius Caesar, the Roman dictator. The change from being a familial name to an imperial title can be loosely dated to AD 68/69, the so-called "Year of the Four Emperors".
