Is 1940 Europe and 1940 Pacific still "to be released"?

Was thinking of Julius Caesar, actually.

How many millions of Gauls do you have to kill to be a great Dictator? And didn’t Rome conquer Italy?

Like London is England, Rome is Italy! Actually, I was merely pointing out that Julius Caesar was not an Emperor. I hate that people say or think he was the first one.

Actually, Augustus did not call himself Emperor either. Tiberius was the first to use the title.

Yes, that’s correct.  Augustus liked to maintain the image that he was simply a “first among equals” (I think the term was “Princeps”) in relation to the members of Senate.  He avoided using terminology that in any way suggested that Rome had gone back to the system of one-man monarchical rule that the Republic was supposed to have abolished.  In addition to being a talented general and a skillful politician, he had a good grasp of what today would be called marketing.
