julius casaer

It's possible English isn't her first language and she is used to the names being spoken and written differently. For instance, in Italian Romulus is Romolo.

Here is a bit about Caesar's ancestry as recorded by Seutonius. Here you can see he claims descent from Venus and the kings of Rome through different family branches:

Quote:When quaestor, he pronounced the customary orations from the rostra in praise of his aunt Julia and his wife Cornelia, who had both died. And in the eulogy of his aunt he spoke in the following terms of her paternal and maternal ancestry and that of his own father: "The family of my aunt Julia is descended by her mother from the kings, and on her father's side is akin to the immortal Gods; for the Marcii Reges (her mother's family name) go back to Ancus Marcius, and the Julii, the family of which ours is a branch, to Venus. Our stock therefore has at once the sanctity of kings, whose power is supreme among mortal men, and the claim to reverence which attaches to the Gods, who hold sway over kings themselves."

Seutonius, The Life of Julius Caesar, 6
