When Julius Caesar briefly mentions his own titles when meeting Ptolemy XIII for the first time, Caesar mentions that he is the "pontifex maximus". This means that he is the chief high priest of the College of Pontiffs, making him the most powerful priest in the Roman Republic. The title later was used by nearly all Roman emperors until the 4th century, from Augustus (reigned 27 BC-AD 14) to Gratian (reigned 367-383).
