Talk: Consul

"which in the home timeline was a low-ranking office". Why did you add that? The OTL section says that a Consul was the highest magistrate of the Roman Republic. I think you are confusing it with a Roman Censor. ML4E (talk) 23:34, October 30, 2015 (UTC)

In the post-Napoleon world, consul has only been a low-ranking office, below ambassador, which is what Justin Monroe would have thought of when he heard the title.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 02:32, October 31, 2015 (UTC)

OK, I should have read the OTL part more carefully. You're talking about a diplomatic title which is fairly low. As Turtle Fan says below, if Justin thought that in the book, then fine. ML4E (talk) 20:02, October 31, 2015 (UTC)

That is true. However, what really matters is: Does the text support this? Was it part of Monroe's inner monologue? Turtle Fan (talk) 02:41, October 31, 2015 (UTC)

I think the fact that he thought it an odd title for a leader clearly implies that it was no such thing where he came from.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 02:48, October 31, 2015 (UTC)

So the book clearly states that he found it an odd title? Turtle Fan (talk) 04:47, October 31, 2015 (UTC)
