I’m surprised at this mocking of the woke by Lennon.

Julius Caesar was not a Roman Emperor though.

Good catch. The current generation struggles to remember five minutes ago so history is a bit too much challenge.
I've spoken with young people who can't distinguish between two hundred and two thousand years in the past.

Your are correct - technically. But...

His cognomen was subsequently adopted as a synonym for "Emperor"; the title "Caesar" was used throughout the Roman Empire, giving rise to modern cognates such as Kaiser and Tsar.
