The position, rank, or office of a Caesar; the status and authority of being a Caesar or supreme ruler.
From Caesar + -ship (Old English suffix meaning 'position' or 'office'). Similar to how we form 'kingship,' 'caesarship' denotes the office or dignity of ruling with Caesar-like authority.
This word appears in historical texts describing the transition of Roman Republic to Roman Empire—'caesarship' captures how a military title gradually became synonymous with imperial godhood.
