(Lat. imperator, general), a title common (in its Latin form) to all governors who had paramount jurisdiction within a given province (Smith, Diet. of Class. Antiq. s.v. Imperium), but technically assumed as a praenomen first by Julius Caesar (Sueton. Jul. 76), as affecting supreme power, and historically attributed to his successors, the heads of the so- styled ROMAN EMPIRE SEE ROMAN EMPIRE (q.v.). They were also designated as CAESAR SEE CAESAR (q.v.). We are here chiefly concerned with them as they came in contact with the Christian religion in the character of persecutors or patrons.
