Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A consul served in the highest elected political office of the Roman Republic. Each year, two consuls were elected together, to serve for a one-year term. Each consul was given veto power over his colleague and the officials would alternate each month. However, after the establishment of the Empire, the consuls were merely a figurative representative of Rome''s republican heritage and held very little power and authority, with the emperor acting as the supreme leader. This political office was not unique to the Roman Republic; in fact, Thucydides (c. 460 B.C. c. 395 B.C.) narrates, in the History of the Peloponnesian War, about the Caoni, "a people who don''t recognize the authority of a king, that was ruled, in accordance of a year lasting office, by Fozio and Nicarone, member of a dominant family" (book II, 80).
