Yes [...] Give to Caesar what is Caesar's...
To make it even more intriguing... There are also rumors that Jesus' paternal grandmother was Cleopatra of Jerusalem, none other than the daughter of Cleopatra and Julius, born after his assassination, and ultimately married to "an obscure Prince of the East," Joseph the Carpenter's father the mother. After the "obscure Prince's" death, Cleopatra of Jerusalem was married to Herod. Just think of the political implications if true -- or even if rumored to be true at the time: In one man, Jesus, would be the one heir to the Roman, Egyptian, Hebrew and Druid empires... Talk about a kingdom!

Iulius and Eli are not the same names in Latin.

Oh yeah? Remove the Latin male suffix, -us, and you have Juli translitterate into Hebrew and you get YELI, however in Hebrew Y in front of a word is a prefix for the third person (he/they), so in order not to bring any confusion, a Jew would render Julius as Eli in Hebrew/Aramaic.
