abstract	The Caesar of Rome is the popularly and aristocratically recognized chief of state and head of government for the Imperium Romanum. A reigning caesar exercises the executive powers of the federal government of Rome, keeps legislation in line with public opinion, and internationally represents the state. He is the most powerful person in the Roman Empire, and some would say the human race, for the duration of his reign. Modern Caesars are legitimized through a complex process of passing on titles delineated by the Constitution. Protocol requires a reigning Caesar to designate a successor prior to his death. This man may then accept the first citizenship upon his predecessor's death before being ceremonially recognized as Imperator by officers in the Legion and approved by the Senate and people of Rome. The most important of these steps is the last, without which a princeps cannot receive the honorific Caesar. Periods of civil war have seen this fail to happen, with order only restored upon approval of a new dynasty by the people of Rome. Officially, caesar is not a hereditary position despite the illusion of non-autocratic rule being dropped millennia ago. Romans retain a cultural disdain for reges, whose governments they view as inevitably corrupt. The candidate for caesarship, the princeps juventatis, must be accepted by the Senate, military, and citizens of the capital and be selected by the previous holder of the title, on the ostensible basis of suitability, for him to come into office as the next Caesar. No one has ever taken the title without fulfilling these conditions. In this way, the Emperor of Rome can be justifiably regarded as a republican head of government.
