I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

the soft c pronunciation is correct and appropriate for the Boston basketball team and the Scottish soccer team and helps to instantly differentiate whether you are talking about sports or something that actually matters

Both. In his own era it would have been pronounced Gaius iulius kaeser.

Now that we're 2000 years removed and speaking a different language the more modern Seeser pronunciation is used in English.

He wasn't bored, he had to use brutal tactics to keep the natives terrified of Roman military strength because they were outnumbered in a hostile land by a gazillion to one.
It also kept people in Rome impressed and the ruling class more than a little questioning of his motives and kept them respectably afraid

Wasn't even them. They were kind of together in league against the Senate.

He was mostly doing it (in terms of this aspect of it) to keep the Senate from calling his bluff.

They couldn't press the legal charges they wanted (and could/should have) so long as he held command. E: and not because 'ooh scary army' he literally held legal immunity by nature of his command

That's why he retained his command when re-entering Italy proper. He couldn't afford to relinquish it and be subject to the Senate punishing him for bullying them

The people loved him, mostly.
They saw him as a socialist reformer who gave tons of social benefits to the underclass.

The people who hated him called themselves 'Republicans'.
