The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to determine the coordinates of the cache.
Julius Caesar helped form the First Triumvirate and greatly expanded Roman territory across the globe. Actually, Caesar would have spoken Latin, but if he had been born in this century, I think he would know both Italian and English. Use the locations below to determine the fifteen-digit coordinates by using the correct languages, encodings, translations, and even math as appropriate.

Special Notes about the 2024 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, which will probably happen on March 16th, 2025). The real challenge is to see whether I can keep from getting so frustrated by submitting caches that I decide to quit! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.
Special Notes about this month's puzzle: As usual, all English words are valid North American Scrabble words. I don't like hiding caches in these muggle-infested spots, but I ran out of time to find a better option. I did at least arrange for this cache to be published at midnight instead of during the day, though apparently most of the puzzle solvers weren't around to notice this time. This one is on the larger side of micros, but still doesn't have much room for trade items.
You can validate your puzzle solution with
certitude.
