Caesar was not a King - he was named Dictator Perpetuus and was an Emperor but refused to be called "King" or even receive a Diadem which was the Roman symbol of monarchy. Although I suppose you could argue he was effectively a King in everything but title.

You don't write "and" in that situation though. "And" is like a decimal point. (i.e. 157.9 = One Hundred Fifty-Seven and Nine Tenths)

I don't know if decks were actually made, but Saddam was the Ace of Spades, rather than the king.
