  Consortium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Consortium is a Latin word, meaning 'partnership, association or society' and derives from consors 'partner', itself from con- 'together' and sors 'fate', meaning owner of means or comrade.
A consortium is formed by contract, which delineates the rights and obligations of each member.
Another example of a successful consortium is the Five Colleges of Ohio of Ohio: Oberlin College, Ohio Wesleyan University, Kenyon College, College of Wooster and Denison University.

 Consortium - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Consortium is a word that comes from the Latin consortium meaning association or society, from the word consors meaning owner of means or comrade.
A consortium is an association of two or more individuals, companies, organisations, or governments (or any combination of these entities) with the objective of participating in a common activity or pooling their resources for achieving a common goal.
In several common law countries, the word 'consortium' refers to the sexual services provided by one's wife, which can be lost necessitating an award of damages; if a man's wife dies early due to misdiagnose, he may sue for 'loss of consortium'.

The four-fold regional division of the empire continued in the form of Praetorian prefectures, each of which was overseen by a praetorian prefect and subdivided into administrative dioceses.
The pre-existing notion of consortium imperii, the sharing of imperial power, was to reappear repeatedly.
The idea of the two halves, the East and the West, re-emerged and eventually resulted in the de facto division into two separate Roman empires after the death of Theodosius I (though it is important to remember that the Empire was never formally divided, Emperors of East and West legally ruling as one imperial college).

 Viceroy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In some cases, the title (and the office, unless the title is not permanently attached to the job) is reserved for members of the ruling dynasty.
It was not uncommon for potentials heirs to the throne to obtain such a post (or an equivalent one, without the viceregal style) as a test - and learning stage, not unlike the even loftier 'associations to the throne', such as the Roman consortium imperii- or the Caesars in Emperor Diocletian's original Tetrarchy.
The absolutist Kings of Spain employed numerous Viceroys to rule over various parts of their vast empire "where the sun never set", both European and overseas.

 Equipo Nizkor - SIDERMAN de BLAKE v. REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The damages award finally elicited a response from Argentina, which filed a motion for relief from judgment on the ground that it was immune from suit under the FSIA and that the district court therefore lacked both subject matter and personal jurisdiction.
Under the restrictive principle, as defined in the Tate Letter, "the immunity of the sovereign is recognized with regard to sovereign or public acts (jure imperii) of a state, but not with respect to private acts (jure gestionis)." 26 Dep't of State Bull.
In the consortium's subsequent action against Venezuela, the court found that Venezuela's intervention and operation of the bank constituted commercial activity.

The Government alleged that, since the applicant had failed to lodge any claim for compensation, no dispute could be said to have arisen.
In any event - the Government further submitted - the non-contractual liability of the State in respect of acts carried out iure imperii is distinguishable from the system that governs civil liability in private law.
A major difference is that a claimable right to compensation, enforceable in civil courts, only arises after the criminal court has recognised its existence.

 Cromohs 2001 - Carhart, Robertson: The Enlightenments of J. G. A. Pocock
Pocock calls this historiographic tradition "philosophical history." Finally there is the historiographic tradition of men and events in the mode of Thucydides and Tacitus which described the res gestae and arcana imperii of great men, holding them up as moral examples in terms of manly virtue and vice.
By this he means the ‘system of states’ instituted by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1714, and designed to secure a ‘balance of power’ in Europe, preventing any recurrence of the threat of Universal Monarchy.
The system, Pocock emphasises, was very much a western European phenomenon, being effectively an Anglo-French consortium; it lasted until the last quarter of the century, when it was fatally undermined by imperial rivalry and extra-European wars.

As Wesley Clark plunges into the campaign for the Democratic president nomination, he would be wise to recall the warning of a shrewd Roman historian.
Tacitus wrote of a gifted but disastrous political leader: "Capax imperii nisi imperasset." This crabbed Latin judgment is famously hard to translate but its rough meaning goes: "He would have made a very fine emperor if, poor fellow, he had not actually become emperor."
It's probably a statement on the 'expected level of learning' in the audience that the author of the opinion piece didn't identify the "gifted but disastrous" leader as Galba.

The Tate letter reasoned that since the United States government allowed itself to be sued in United States courts, and even in foreign courts if the suits concerned American ships, it was inconsistent to continue granting absolute immunity to other states for suits arising out of their commercial activities.
For example, a majority of the shares of the now defunct airline Air Afrique were owned by a consortium of eleven African states: Benin, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Cote d’Ivoire, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, and Togo.
