“Primus Inter Pares”
(“First among equals”)

9. "First among equals" redirects here. For other uses, see First Among
Equals.
For the cognitive bias sometimes known as the "primus inter pares
effect", see illusory superiority.
Primus inter pares is a Latin phrase meaning first among equals.[a] It
is typically used as an honorary title for someone who is formally equal to
other members of their group but is accorded unofficial respect,
traditionally owing to their seniority in office.[1]
Historically, the princeps senatus of the Roman Senate was such a figure
and initially bore only the distinction that he was allowed to speak first
during debate. Also, Constantine the Great was given the role of primus
inter pares. However, the term is also often used ironically or self-
deprecatingly by leaders with much higher status as a form of respect,
camaraderie or propaganda. After the fall of the Republic, Roman
emperors initially referred to themselves only as princeps despite having
power of life and death over their "fellow citizens".

11. The Doges of Venice
The following is a list of all 120 of the Doges of Venice ordered by the dates of their reigns which are put in
parentheses.
For more than 1,000 years, the chief magistrate and leader of the city of Venice and later of the Most Serene
Republic of Venice was styled the Doge, a rare but not unique Italian title derived from the Latin Dux. Doges of
Venice were elected for life by the city-state's aristocracy. The Venetian combination of elaborate monarchic
pomp and a republican (though "aristocratic") constitution with intricate checks and balances makes "La
serenissima" (Venice) a textbook example of a crowned republic.
Despite the great power given to them, the Venetian Doges were restricted by law (unlike the Doges of the
Republic of Genoa) to spend the rest of their lives inside the Doge's Palace complex and St Mark's Basilica,
occasionally leaving for diplomatic reasons.
