Roman Emperor Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Emperors and kings are addressed as Your Majesty, Princes are Your Highness, while the POTUS is more modestly addressed as "Mister President". But how was a Roman consul styled and to be spoken to? Did they use something closer to monarchs or the US president, or was it just simply "Consul (fill in their name)"?

M. Porcius Cato Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I can't recall ordinary magistracies ever having been invested with titles. Although Favonius, I believe, once addressed Pompey and Caesar as "king and queen" (respectively, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
