| | Review: Lord Cromer: Victorian Imperialist, Edwardian Proconsul |
| | But there is room for further inquiry into others’ reactions to Cromer and his public persona – from the French diplomats with whom he sparred for so many years and above all from the Egyptians over whom he ruled. | | | It is curious that it should have taken imperial proconsul Lord Cromer (1841–1917, Evelyn Baring until 1892) nearly a century to find a scholarly biographer worthy of his centrality to British, imperial and Egyptian history in the Victorian-Edwardian age. | | | In 1910, with Curzon at his side, he presided over the merger of separate men’s and women’s anti-suffragist leagues into the National League for Opposing Women’s Suffrage. |

| | This custom became popular during the war against Hannibal; an innovation was the appointment of private citizens as proconsuls (i.e., people who were not former magistrates). | | | Under the empire, the governors of the senatorial provinces were usually called proconsuls, although they were in fact former praetors. | | | Like a propraetor, the proconsul was someone who acted as if (pro) he were an official magistrate. |

| | Proconsul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In modern speech, a leader appointed by a foreign power during military occupation or colonization is sometimes anachronistically described as a proconsul. | | | The former Consuls (constitutionally still eponymic chief magistrates, politically powerless) would still receive a term as proconsul of one of the other, so-called Senatorial provinces. | | | This page was last modified 07:28, 30 September 2005. |

| | Proconsul (Officer in place of Consul) |
| | PROCONSUL is an officer who acts in the place of a consul without holding the office of the consul itself; though the proconsul was generally one who had held the office of consul, so that the proconsulship was a continuation, though a modified one, of the consulship. | | | Hence whenever a proconsul led his army back to Rome for the purpose of holding a triumph, the imperium (in urbe) was especially granted to him by the people, which was, of course, not necessary when a consul triumphed during the year of his office. | | | The power of proconsul was conferred by a senatusconsultum and plebiscitum, and was nearly equal to that of a regular consul, for he had the imperium and jurisdictio, but it differed inasmuch as it did not extend over the city and its immediate vicinity (see Niebuhr, Hist. |
