Thread: Proposal to Re Republicanise staff names.

    Default Proposal to Re Republicanise staff names.

    I propose the following:

    Cohortes Praetoria be renamed to: Urbanis Legio

    Their Banner changed back to this:

    - The name is simpler, well known and was used in the past, very simple to reinstate.

    Praetorian Prefects be renamed to Praetors with the old Praetor Banner.

    The PP name is complicated and the Praetor name was always better IMO.

    Simple Amendment which will make your staff look more attractive.

    Anyone like?

    I completely support this proposal.

    The name "Praefecti Praetorio" has always annoyed me, even more so now that I am one ... Praetors is so much better.

    I too support this proposal....
    These "new" names are as has been stated easier to remember and sound better in my opinion!

    They are the Old ones, these new ones were part of Sulla's reforms, all of which has been changed by the new constitution.

    Yes I do know that they are the earlier versions but how many now active members remember them?
    To most they are new, I hardly remember them for instance...

    I agree with Justinian. Praetors (or maybe Praetores to be grammatically correct for once...) is much better than praetorio...praetoriani...praetori...whatever the title is.

    I support this as well. Although I really don't think it's going to do enough to make our current crop of staff members "attractive".

    Hey now ... I'm sexy ... Or so tBP says.

    Does anyone still have the old Praetor banner (which would be somewhat necessary for this proposal)? I've been looking for it the past few hours, but it's nowhere to be found.

    Support completely, i (vaguley) remember the old names and they were better.

    And it would take an expensive makeover to make some of our staff sexy.

    well, this is the age of Barbarian invasion, altough I prefer the republic, I think a late roman naming system would be more apropriate.

    Plus we have an imperator, how can we go back to republican...

    Guess the imperator could become dictator for life.

    Imperator (Change Imperator and Consuls to Triumvir )
    Consul
    Praetor
    Quaestor
    Urbanis Legio (I wouldnt use the word "Promagistrate" Since we made sure CP's were not Magistrates, simpler in this case to move it back to UL)
    Well, if I, Belisarius, the Black Prince, and you all agree on something, I really don't think there can be any further discussion.
