The Roman Empire, known for its structured and hierarchical governance, often employed such terms to delineate the power and influence of its leaders. This concept was familiar to the Jewish and early Christian communities living under Roman rule, who experienced firsthand the implications of such authority in their daily lives.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2232.htm">hégemón</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>rule<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>reign (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2231: ἡγεμονία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἡγεμονία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἡγεμονίας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἡγεμών</span>) (<span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, others), <span class="accented">chief command, rule, sovereignty</span>: of the reign of a Roman emperor, <a href="/interlinear/luke/3-1.htm">Luke 3:1</a>;
