With a pair of Caesar’s.
The joke “How was Rome split in two? With a pair of Caesar’s” plays on a pun involving the word “Caesar.” Historically, Julius Caesar was a significant figure in ancient Rome, and his actions and eventual assassination led to the end of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. The joke cleverly uses the homophonic nature of “Caesar” and “scissors” (pronounced similarly to “Caesar’s” in some accents). In everyday context, scissors are used to cut or split things in two.
