And considering how long the Empire was around the way 'Caesar' pronounced it drifted quite a bit.
Hah, yes, but I was referring to Julius. Isn't he who people think of if all they say is Caesar?
I have cousins whose last name is Csaszar, and they pronounced it Caeser, though the Hungarian pronunciation is more like 'Chazar'. Unfortunately for him, my Aunt named her second oldest son, 'Julius'. ;o)
