Document Summary

Logos - in stoic thought logos is a kind of indwelling principle of coherence in the material world that guides all things (including humans) to their own proper ends. The idea of logos crops up again in early christianity. Princeps - leading member(s) of the elite in the roman republic. The princeps senatus was an informal but highly prestigious title for the senator whose named appeared rst in the list of senators compiled by the censor. Augustus chose the term princeps as a title because of its traditional, nonthreatening implications. From the flavian period the term imperator became a title of the emperor. Rome was the supreme delegated authority in civic and military realms vested in certain magistrates such as consuls and praetors. Auxiliaries - roman allies who fought alongside the legions. Auxiliaries were not paid at the same rate as legionaries, but could earn roman citizenship after a xed term of service.
