Took me a moment to remember that native English speakers can't even pronounce "Gaius Julius" correctly without full-on learning a different language. Not sure if I even want to know what the English pronounciation of "Gaius" is.

Kaisar makes him sound German, which makes sense since Kaiser.

If the Romans saw how much their influence had over Germania, they would probably declare a cultural victory.

Romans, overwhelmed with a feeling of defeat upon seeing Italians wearing trousers: "DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL TO ORCUS!"

Herr Kaiser, the inventor of the bread rolls of the same name.

Also very annoyingly trying to sell insurance in TV ads.
