The Overture ozxander Kozar Rockamora I think it's pretty hilarious that people pronounce Ceasar Kayzor. Kaisar is the correct roman pronunciation. The roman alphabet didnt have a soft c sound and no K letter. And now ya know ^_^ -Applauds-
I just found it amusing from the juxtoposition from modern pronunciation and thought of how they must have come to that way of saying it. I was imagining somebody found a book about Rome and out of ignorance of grammar (by American standards anyway, all the schools are destroyed) thought it said Kayzor and decided it sounded cool.

And why choose the Roman theme? The business with the crucifixions was pretty rough.

a quote from the fallout wiki. The boy later known as Caesar was born in 2226. His family once lived near the Boneyard until his father was killed by raiders when he was two years old, forcing his mother and him to flee eventually finding sanctuary with the Followers of the Apocalypse in 2231. He received a free education from the Followers and eventually became a full member - a scribe specializing in anthropology and linguistics.
well that explains how they got the pronunciation correct at least. Caesar was a linguistic specialist.
and this... Reading first The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and then Julius Caesar's own Commentarii, personal accounts of his military conquests, changed his life and was the starting point of his grand plan. He intended to use the Commentarii as a blueprint - after all, which illiterate tribal would know that he was not the original Caesar, and his "Rome" was merely a copy of a civilization long gone?
...explains why the rome motiff. quite simple really. ^_^
