I think this is...
Austria
Caesar's face, in his tongue
Au, short for gold (Aurum in Latin) and also Aureus, a gold coin which Caesar has minted.
The lines on the circle line
St, short for the stations or stops on the Circle Line?
The opposite of everything that surrounds us
ria, which as WAF has wisely noted is air spelled backwards.

Yours is a lot less contrived than mine. I see this SE as no less collaborative than the others!

I'm not sure about this, but maybe
Liberia
because
"liber" is Latin (the language of the Caesars) for "book", which contains a lot of typeface.
and
"ER" is the initials of "Edgware Road", which is the station the Circle Line on the underground will take you to if you ride in either direction.
and
"ria" is "air" which surrounds us, backwards.

Sorry but that's incorrect. Your solution would be libereria.

@DanielCooper I was thinking the first two elements could overlap. . . Good puzzle.

I think you're right about the last part and used that (if that's OK).
