Cursus honorum is the Latin term for the standard political career. A cursus is literally a race, or a race-track; honores are 'honours' or 'offices'. Roman political offices Roman political offices are traditionally held in a certain order. This system developed over the first centuries of the republic and was for a long time purely customary, though it was gradually codified in law.

In Nova Roma, the cursus honorum is regulated by the following laws:

In general, the only Nova Roman magistracies which cannot be held without holding another (lower) office are the Censorship, Consulship and Praetorship. These offices can be held only after being Vigintisexvir or Tribunus Plebis or Quaestor or Aedilis, or provincial governor.

Though there is not strict legal regulation, it's highly recommended to respect and follow the ancient Roman cursus honorum in Nova Roma, too. This is a question of moral.
