Julius Caesar was a Roman emperor who is famous for being betrayed by his council (and possibly son depending how much your read into suetonius's 12 Caesars) and stabbed in the back by like 20 people at the same time. the salad pictured is called a Caesar salad, but it wasnt invented by Julius Caesar it's just commonly attributed to him in meme culture as a joke.
