Footnote 224: Pro Consule was the title of a Roman general who was sent to a province with consular authority.
It was not unusual to appoint a man Pro Consule who had not been 'consul.
O nata mecum consule Manlio," Horace says, when addressing his cask of wine.
In aedem Fidei publicae convocati patres conscripti a consule Mucio Scaevola quidnam in tali tempestate faciendum esset deliberabant, cunctisque censentibus ut consul armis rem publicam tueretur, Scaevola negavit se quicquam vi esse acturum.
The following verses likewise were currently repeated on this occasion: Non Bibulo quidquam nuper, sed Caesare factum est; Nam Bibulo fieri consule nil memini.
The genial Horace, in speaking of his old wine, agrees with Suetonius in fixing the date of his own birth: O nata mecum consule Manlio Testa.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "consule" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
