Luke is presenting Jesus as a better Caesar
The language and themes used in the inscription praising the birth of Caesar Augustus, such as being given by providence, divine initiative, being a Savior, and bringing peace, are also present in the Gospel of Luke in relation to Jesus. This indicates that Luke is presenting Jesus as a better Caesar, with a Gentile feel and a Greco-Roman context, but with different reasons and agendas from other Gospel writers.
