Yes, indeed - it seems "Imperator" is a title given to *"victorious
generals when they return from a military campaign"*

according to french wikipedia

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperator_(titre)

also interesting to note, when reading the english page of wikipedia,
that the title was used mostly in the "principate" and the "dominate" ( the
last periods of the Roman "Empire"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperator

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominate

The *Dominate* was the "despotic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Despotism>"
latter phase of government in the ancient Roman
Empire<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire>
 from the conclusion of the Third Century
Crisis<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_of_the_Third_Century> of
235–284 until the formal date of the collapse of the Western
Empire<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Roman_Empire> in
AD 476.
