Caesar Augustus or Napoleon (7)
I believe the answer is:
emperor
'caesar augustus or napoleon' is the definition.
(I know that Augustus is a emperor)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for emperor that I've seen before include "Large richly-coloured butterfly" , "He rules over several states" , "Pre-Rome (anag.)" , "Largest type of penguin" , "Nero or penguin" .)
