	Proconsul
		Like a propraetor, the proconsul was someone who acted as if (pro) he were an official magistrate.
		This custom became popular during the war against Hannibal; an innovation was the appointment of private citizens as proconsuls (i.e., people who were not former magistrates).
		Under the empire, the governors of the senatorial provinces were usually called proconsuls, although they were in fact former praetors.

	Proconsul - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A proconsul (from the Latin pro consule, "for" or "in place of a consul") was a Roman magistrate endowed with the imperium of a consul without having been elected to that office; usually, he was a consul whose term of office had been prorogued by the Senate.
		In the first century BC, former consuls served as proconsuls in important provinces "as if they were consuls" (e.g., Julius Caesar was consul in 59 BC and proconsul of Gallia Cisalpina 58-49).
		Under the empire, the governors of the senatorial provinces were usually called proconsuls, although they were in fact former praetors.

	ACTS OF S
		The proconsul Paternus said: “They shall be found by me.” And added: “The emperors have also given intructions that in no place shall meetings be held, nor shall any enter the cemeteries.
		And as he stayed long time in exile, the proconsul Aspasius Paternus was succeeded in the proconsulship by Galerius Maximus, who ordered the holy bishop Cyprian to be recalled from banishment and brought before him.
		For the time being blessed Cyprian withdrew under guard to the house of a high official, equerry on the same staff of the illustious Galerius Maximus the proconsul, and remained with him at his house in the street which is called Saturn's between the temple of Venus and the temple of Public Welfare.

	Review: Lord Cromer: Victorian Imperialist, Edwardian Proconsul
		It is curious that it should have taken imperial proconsul Lord Cromer (1841–1917, Evelyn Baring until 1892) nearly a century to find a scholarly biographer worthy of his centrality to British, imperial and Egyptian history in the Victorian-Edwardian age.
		He feared that the Empire might be at stake: ‘As the “German man is manly [and] the German woman is womanly … can we hope to compete with such a nation as this if we war against nature and endeavour to invert the natural role of the sexes?”’ (p.
		The subtitle “Victorian Imperialist, Edwardian Proconsul” is excellent for situating its subject in the British global context but at the cost of omitting the crucial word that would call this book up in a title search under ‘Egypt’.

	John Hawks Anthropology Weblog : Proconsul :: overview
		There appear to have been at least three species of Proconsul, though the level of sexual dimorphism was high in each, making it difficult to separate within-species and between-species variation.
		But it is not out of the question that the Proconsul lineage is a much more distant relative to living apes, perhaps even representing an extinct catarrhine superfamily separate from hominoids and cercopithecoids.
		The position of Proconsul in the hominoid phylogeny is potentially important because of its implications for the evolutionary relationships of later apes.

	9 THE PROCONSUL
		No doubt the proconsul was awake, trembling in the remotest angle of his lair, with the spectre of assassination rampant before him--aroused by the continued disturbance of the night, by the feverishness of this man-hunt carried on almost at his gates.
		The horses were pawing the frozen ground and champing their bits--the steam from their nostrils caught the ray of the carriage lamps, which also lit up with a feeble flicker the vague outline of the coachman on his box and of the postilion rigid in his saddle.
		They were the guardians of the mighty proconsul; on their skill, quickness and presence of mind might depend his precious life.
