This is a list of Roman consuls, the highest elected political office of the Roman Republic and a high office of the Empire. If the emperor was consul, it was the highest office; if not, it was a high administrative office and remained the basis of marking time in the fasti.

For the early Roman Republic this article observes the Varronian chronology, first presented by Marcus Terentius Varro, in which Year 1 AUC becomes 754-753 BC (the Roman year was split over two modern years). The first year of the republic is 245 AUC, or 510-509 BC. This chronology was made official in the reign of Augustus, to which the Fasti Capitolini testify. It is however four years earlier than that of the most verifiable source, Livy. Livy's date of 506-505 BC is verified by counting his terms of magistrates backward from the known eclipse of 340 BC, which, according to Varro, would have happened in 344 BC. The magistrates and their exact dates are not always ascertainable; the sources vary.

For those individuals who served as Consul (usually Suffect, but occasionally Ordinary), but whose period in office is uncertain, see List of undated Roman consuls.

For those individuals who were elected to the office of Consul but never actually served due to death, disgrace, or any other reason prior to the commencement of their term, see List of Roman consuls designate.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or roman:

    Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
    Went down the list of the dead.
    Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
    The crews of the gig and yawl,
    The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
    Carpenters, coal-passers—all.
    Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

    Semantically, taste is rich and confusing, its etymology as odd and interesting as that of “style.” But while style—deriving from the stylus or pointed rod which Roman scribes used to make marks on wax tablets—suggests activity, taste is more passive.... Etymologically, the word we use derives from the Old French, meaning touch or feel, a sense that is preserved in the current Italian word for a keyboard, tastiera.
