A Roman consul was one of the highest elected political offices in the Roman Republic, serving as a chief magistrate. Typically, two consuls were elected annually, sharing power to prevent any one individual from becoming too powerful. They were responsible for leading the army, presiding over the Senate and assemblies, and executing laws. The office of consul symbolized the pinnacle of political achievement in Roman society, with significant influence over both domestic and foreign affairs.
