The term "consulate" is employed in literature with remarkable diversity, often straddling the realms of ancient Roman governance and modern diplomatic settings. In historical accounts, such as Livy’s narrative, the consulate is portrayed as the epicenter of Roman political life—its institution marking both celebrated and turbulent chapters in Rome’s history ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]). In contrast, works like Jules Verne’s depict the consulate as a functional office or building serving administrative needs abroad, as seen when Mr. Fogg visits the English consulate for vital passport procedures ([13], [14], [15]). Furthermore, references extend beyond Roman antiquity into contexts that include British and American diplomatic representations ([16], [17]), Napoleon’s political maneuverings ([18], [19]), and even educational establishments under consular sponsorship ([20]). This varied usage encapsulates the evolution of the term—from an emblem of authority and civic duty in ancient texts to a modern marker of international relations and bureaucratic procedures.
