XS>One of the titles of the Roman Emperor was Pontifix Maximus, a title given to the Roman Emperor by the king of Ephesus who had inherited the title from Babylon

That is sooo funny -- the term Pontifex Maximus translates as Chief Priest

My memory of Prep school Latin is Pontifex means Bridge Builder in Latin.

Maximus is the Chief. Therefore Pontifix Maximus is Chief Bridge Builder as in

The title of the Magian high priest of Babylon was "Chief Bridge Builder"
meaning the one who spans the gap between mortals and Satan and his hosts.
In Latin this title was written "Pontifex Maximus,"

I suggest you check with a Latin Scholar.

Yup -- the priest is a bridge builder to God, hence chief priest. So, you agree that the term is purely Roman in origin, meaning head priest, like you have the head priest from Aaron's descendents?
