Caesarian

Refers to the period and style associated with the rule of the Roman consul and dictator, Julius Caesar, who died in 44 BCE. It is also sometimes used to refer to that which pertains to the Caesars more generally, that is, to all the Roman emperors who assumed the title of Caesar, from Augustus down to Hadrian, and thereafter, to the heir-presumptive of the emperor. In modern literature, it is also sometimes used to refer to all emperors down to the fall of Constantinople, or to that which has to do with the followers of the Roman Emperor in opposition to the Pope. In the context of art and architecture, this term is not limited to its common meaning in the discipline of history, where it may be used to refer narrowly to the Caesarian party of the ancient Roman senate or the armed forces of Julius Caesar.
