Umm, just fyi... Imperator is Latin (you know, the language the Romans spoke) for emperor... And emperor is English for imperator...
I think the intent of the comment was to note how the word changed over time, not that Romans went from calling them Imperators to Emperors.
He literally said "later Emperor" implying that Emperor and Imperator are different as opposed to literal translations.
