Interesting, where do you get the pronunciation from though? I always thought it was somehow related to the notion of seize the throne, thus see-zer.
The game got me curious, why half the voice actors were pronouncing it that way. Apparently the soft C didn't exist back then. And from what I was able to research (and probably posted in AskHistory or AskHistorians on Reddit), what I learned was that half the voice actors were pronouncing it correctly, while the rest were using the modern pronunciation.
Well, you see, in ancient rome they spoke Latin instead of english. The roman Caesar is the origin of both the german Kaiser and the Russian Tsar/Czar. Kai-sar was how it would be pronounced in latin
what language are you speaking when you're saying "render unto caesar" tho, latin or your vernacular?
It was his family name well before he took the throne.
