Back in his day, yes. In modern greek it is sisero and in modern latin it is Chichero. Similarly, in Julius Caesar's day, his name would have been pronounced Kai-zar and in modern latin and italian, it is Chai-zar.

Cent as sent + taur as tor. We pronounce most greek c's as s in english as is cicero or cent being pronounced with an s sound instead of a k sound. Tor is the same as in taurus. Mine is not the only correct pronunciation, my explanation is just the justification for my specific pronunciation
