Caesarism
In political science, the term Caesarism identifies and describes an authoritarian, populist, and autocratic ideology inspired by Julius Caesar, the dictator of Rome, from 49 BC to 44 BC. == History == The German historian Johann Friedrich Böhmer first used the term Caesarism in 1846, to describe the state's political subordination of the Roman Catholic Church. Published in 1850, L'ère des Césars by Auguste Romieu defined Caesarism as the military rule and régime of a warlord, and "following Romieu's polemic, 'Caesarism' quickly gained vogue status." In 1857, the religious writer Orestes Brownson used the term Caesarism to mean rule and régime of absolute monarchy.
