Julius Caesar was NOT a king, Rome had been a republic for several hundred years. Before that, it had been ruled by kings, and after Caesar's murder it soon switched to emperors (for the first decades there were 2 then 3 rulers at the same time, but then they decided 1 emperor was enough!).

There was no king before Caesar--at least not for about 450 years. At the time of Julius Caesar Rome had the republic as its form of government. Incidentally, Caesar was not a king, he was a dictator, which is a supreme office in the republic.

Who was the Roman Emperor in time of spartacus?

I believe there was no emperor at the time of Spartacus, as Caesar was the "king." Caesar wasn't actually the king, yet. He was just ruling and decided to become king, until he was unfortunately stabbed twenty three times in the Senate, the day before he left for a five-year war.There is a link that explains things, if I am incorrect:http://www.fsmitha.com/h1/ch18.htm


Why were roman emperors called Caesar?

They were called "Caesar" because that was their title.The Romans never used the words king or emperor. It came about because Caesar was the family name of the first five emperors and the Romans called people by their last names. (If they did not know them well.) It then became a tradition to call each ruler "Caesar" as the name had taken on more of a meaning than a simple family name.

How many caesars were there?

Sixty! From Augustus Caesar to Julian of Pannonia, the last usurper before the Roman Empire was split. See the attached link. Caesar was originally the surname of a branch of the Julian family. Julius Caesar's full name was Gaius Julius Caesar, and Augustus's was Octavius Julius Caesar. After Augustus became emperor, the name Caesar became synonymous with "emperor". At the time of Diocletian, a "Caesar" was the title given to a kind of vice-emperor.
