Caesar in Easton's Bible Dictionary
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).
