They literally just mushed all the greats' names together. How often does this happen?
In Spanish language places a lot of people are called jesus, in Islamic places a lot of people are called Mohammed. I'm not saying i think it is a normal thing to do, but history disagrees with me. People have been name-dropping any way they can for ages now.
True but how is it more like "Vishnu Abraham Hesus Muhammad de Buddha" or specifically among Roman emperors.
Constantly. Most Roman Emperors adopted the names of previous Emperors to show how part of the 'imperial family' they were.
