Each consul served as president of the Senate for a month. They could also summon any of the Roman assemblies and preside over them. Thus, the consuls conducted the elections and put legislative measures to the vote. When neither consul was within the city, their civic duties were assumed by the <i>praetor urbanus</i> (city prefect). </p><p>Each consul was accompanied in public by twelve <i>lictors</i>, who displayed the magnificence of the office and served as his bodyguards. Each lictor held a <i><a href="/wiki/Fasces" title="Fasces">fasces</a></i>, a bundle of <a href="/wiki/Rod" class="mw-disambig" title="Rod">rods</a> that contained an <a href="/wiki/Axe" title="Axe">axe</a>. The rods symbolized the power of scourging, and the axe the power of <a href="/wiki/Capital_punishment" class="mw-redirect" title="Capital punishment">capital punishment</a>. When inside the city, the lictors removed the axes from the fasces to show that a citizen could not be executed without a trial. Upon entering the democratic assembly, the lictors would lower the fasces to show that the powers of the consuls derive from the senate and people of Rome (senatus populusque romanus). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Military_powers">Military powers</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Roman_consul&veaction=edit&section=2" title="Change section: Military powers" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>change</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Roman_consul&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section's source code: Military powers"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Outside the walls of Rome, the powers of the consuls were far greater in their role as <a href="/wiki/Commander-in-chief" class="mw-redirect" title="Commander-in-chief">commanders-in-chief</a> of all <a href="/wiki/Roman_legion" title="Roman legion">Roman legions</a>.

In the rare case that both consuls marched together, each one held the command for a day in turn. A typical consular army was about 20,000 men strong and consisted of two citizen and two allied legions. In the early years of the republic, Rome's enemies were in central Italy, so campaigns lasted a few months. </p><p>As Rome's frontiers expanded, in the 2nd century BC, the campaigns became lengthier.

His soldiers expected to return to their homes after the campaign with spoils. If the consul won an overwhelming victory, he was hailed as <a href="/wiki/Imperator" class="mw-redirect" title="Imperator">imperator</a> by his troops, and could request to be granted a <a href="/w/index.php?title=Roman_triumph&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Roman triumph (not yet started)">triumph</a>. </p><p>The consul could conduct the campaign as he saw fit, and had unlimited powers.

republican heritage. The consulate then held much less power and authority, since the emperor was the supreme leader. However, consuls were often high-ranking and important in their own right. Some were designated successors of their emperor. Also, emperors frequently appointed themselves as consuls. </p><p>The office survived (much altered) until the early 9th century AD. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Roman_consul&veaction=edit&section=4" title="Change section: References" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>change</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Roman_consul&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section's source code: References"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r9724317">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><a href="#cite_ref-1">↑</a></span> <span class="reference-text">Lintott, Andrew 1999. <i>The Constitution of the Roman Republic</i>.
