The cursus honorum (Latin: "course of offices") was the sequential order of public offices held by aspiring politicians in both the Roman Republic and the early Empire.

The Cursus Honorum was the more-or-less inflexible sequence of positions in the senatorial career of a Roman magistrate. The basic pattern was: military service, quaestor, praetor, consul, censor.

The Cursus Honourum was the sequence or ladder of offices that must be climbed in the career of a Roman politician in the sixth century BCE.
