The Roman empire was in power when Jesus was crucified.
Jesus was crucified on the cross to save us from our sins, as the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 1.23. "But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."
It was C easer, as the mob shouted to Pilate, if you release Jesus then you are not Ceasers friend. Howevr it was Tiberius Caesar who was the emperor. Tiberius had been adoptd by Augustus so therefore was "Caesar", which was his family name. In time, (and possibly by the time that the N.T. was written), "Caesar" had become a title for the ruling emperors.
So that the faith of the Corinthian church should stand, not in Paul's eloquence or preaching wisdom but simply in the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.As he stated in 1 Corinthians Ch.2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
Jesus was handed over to be crucified by the Jewish religious leaders and authorities, led by the high priest Caiaphas, who accused him of blasphemy and sought his execution. Ultimately, it was Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, who sentenced Jesus to death by crucifixion.

No, Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, several decades before the birth of Jesus. During the time of Jesus, the Roman Empire was ruled by Caesar Augustus.

It is the truth that Jesus Christ died. The rest of the story - and equally true - is that He rose, alive, from the grave, under His own power.
