	Cursus Honorum
		Those in bold are part of the standard cursus honorum for rising politicians.
		As his second in command, he would choose for himself a 'master of cavalry' As this was a command of exceptional power only used when absolutely necessary, it is not truly part of the cursus honorum.
		While technically this office was open to all men, members of the plebeian class rarely rose this high on the cursus honorum.

		The cursus honorum was the sequential order of public offices held by aspiring politicians in the Roman Republic and early Empire, designed for men of senatorial rank.

	Cursus honorum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The cursus honorum (Latin: "succession of magistracies") was the sequential order of public offices held by aspiring politicians in both the Roman Republic and the early Empire.
		The cursus honorum officially began with ten years of military duty in the Roman cavalry (the equites) or in the staff of a general who was a relative or a friend of the family.
		Their abilities to govern were only limited by the decrees of the Senate or the people's assemblies, and the Tribune of the Plebs were unable to veto their acts as long as the governor remained at least a mile outside of Rome.

	Cursus (classical) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was the similarity in appearance of this Roman cursus to the Neolithic archaeological feature which led 18th century antiquarians to use the same name for the latter.
		This combination of straight and tight turn combined the thrills of speed on the straights with those of danger as collisions and falls were likely on the turns.
		The distinction between a cursus and a circus in connection with racing is not wholly clear.

	Cursus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cursus was a name given by early British archaeologists such as William Stukeley to the large parallel lengths of banks with external ditches which they thought were early Roman athletics tracks, hence the Latin name 'Cursus', meaning 'Circus'.
		The Dorset Cursus, the longest known example, crosses a river and three valleys along its course across Cranborne Chase.
		Finds of arrowheads at the terminal ends suggest archery and hunting were important to the builders and that the length of the cursus may have reflected its use as a proving ground for young men involving a journey to adulthood.

	Cursus
		A Neolithic cursus at Dorchester on Thames, largely known as cropmarks and partly excavated in 1947-52 and 1981.
		The cursus and its associated complex of monuments (see associated records) run across the neck of a strip of land defined by a bend in the River Thames and a tributary, the Thame.
		The southern cursus actually cuts across this enclosure, the cursus ditch passing through the enclosure's southeast entrance causeway (at which point the cursus ditch is also interrupted by a causeway).

	FAQ - Zwanger? - Doe Cursus Bevallen
		At Cursus Bevallen you will learn and hear about most things you need to know for the coming birth and it is not necessary to follow another course.
		Cursus Bevallen was initiated in 1975 by a group of women who in1980 went on to write the book ’Bevallen en opstaan’ (still in the book shops, unfortunately not in an English version).
		The course leaders receive a small fee for their time spent, and the rest of the income goes to buying new accessories and books that course participants can try out and borrow, paying for the location and organising and attending educational courses for the course leaders.

		Cursus monuments are essentially very long and relatively narrow rectangular enclosures, with a near continuous boundary of an interior bank and an exterior ditch.
		Springfield Cursus, Essex, had a timber circle built within one of its terminal areas, and a timber circle was built over the terminal of a pit-defined cursus at Upper Largie in the Kilmartin Valley.
		Maybe Neolithic people saw the cursus as a type of river under their control, not under nature's; as a place in which they could cleanse themselves of their existential worries through rituals, and allow themselves to return to their everyday lives with more confidence in the future.

		The Dorset Cursus, for example, has a bank on one side that is prominent and fairly straight, while the opposite bank is less pronounced and follows an irregular course.
		The alignment of the Dorset Cursus suggests that processions may have moved from the north-east to the south-west, which plausibly reflects an interest in the midwinter sunset.
		It is notable that at Buscot, near Swindon in the Thames Valley, the relationship between the two cursus enclosures - in terms of relative size and orientation - mirrors that between the River Thames and the River Cole.

	Cursus honorum
		Cursus honorum: the 'sequence of offices' in the career of a Roman politician.
		In the late sixth century BCE, Rome became a republic and was, by definition, ruled by magistrates.
		When one was elected consul, he had already shown what kind of man he was in several branches of government activity (the army, accounting, care for the temples and Games, justice); in other words, the Roman magistrates were not specialists but generalists.

	Roman Law and Government: Cursus Honorum
		The Cursus Honorum was a sequence of government offices held by male citizens, usually of the patrician class, who undertook the responsibility -- which they were expected to do -- of government service.
		One began the cursus at age 18 to 20 with a prerequisite of minimum property holdings of over one million sesterces, which was required to qualify for eventual membership in the senate.
		The variety of offices gave the man diverse experience and increasing responsibility in military and civilian affairs, in Rome and in Rome's provinces.

	Cursus - 7 Associations
		At the Dorset cursus one long barrow forms part of the north-western bank and another lies transversely between the ditches of the long sides.
		Thus at Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, hengi-form monuments open towards the cursus, while at the Dorset cursus several long barrows, oval barrows, and a bank barrow are aligned on the terminals of the cursus.
		At Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, and the Dorset cursus, the cursus themselves were slighted in middle to late Bronze Age times when field systems were constructed over the sites.

		The reforms of Sulla required a 2-year period between holding offices or before another term in the same office.
		Candidates from older, established families were favoured because they could use their ancestor's feats as electoral propaganda.
		To have held each office at the youngest possible age (in suo anno, "in his year") was considered a great political success, since to miss out on a praetorship at 39 meant that one could not become consul at 42.

	Roman Government
		Red text designates “curule magistrates,” who had the right to sit on a special ivory folding stool (sella curulis) as a symbol of their office; they also had the right to wear the purple-bordered toga (toga praetexta).
		Thus the cursus honorum changed from a ladder of power (with important social status attached) to a ladder of primarily social rank and status.
		The cursus honorum was, of course, reserved for men; during the entire period of Roman history, women were prohibited from holding political office, though in the Empire their roles as mothers, wives, and daughters of emperors gave a few women very high social status and even a kind of indirect rank.

	The Megalithic Portal and Megalith Map: Dorset Cursus Cursus
		The Cursus dates from 2600 BCE which makes it contemporary with the earthen long barrows on Cranborne Chase: many of these are found near, on, or within the Cursus and since they are still in existence they help the modern visitor to trace the Cursus' course.
		The Cursus' only significant astronomical alignment is related to its SW orientation: an observer at the phase 1 terminal on Bottlebush Down would see the midwinter sun set behind the long barrow lying across the Cursus on the ridge of Gussage Down.
		In fact the vertical profile of the phase 1 part of the Cursus is quite symmetric: it has the ridge of Gussage Down in the middle, with river valleys on either side and the terminals near the summits of the neighbouring ridges.

		But for the intervention of Julian Richards in the late 1980s who restored the terminal to its 1920s state, nothing would be seen of this terminal today, for it had been flattened earlier this century by the manoeuvres of the military.
		The Stonehenge Cursus is 2700 metres long and 100 metres wide at the terminals (maximum width 130 metres).
		To construct it in the third millennium BCE the people cut ditches into the chalk bedrock that were some 2 metres deep, 2 metres wide and a total of 5600 metres in length.

		The Stonehenge Cursus is aligned on an earlier Neolithic long barrow at its eastern end.
