Milenian titles

by Marc Saindon

Both Milenia and Thyatis attempt to be 'Ancient Grome' settings, although I think for the sake distinguishing both, the Milenians should be more Greek and the Thyatians be more Roman (even though that occupy a role similar to the Byzantine Empire).

When it comes to titles of rulers, this is proposed quick fix for the Milenians:

Emperor (derived from latin 'imperator') is replaced by the title of Hegemon. Thus the Milenian Empire is actually a Milenian Hegemony (though for the sake of simplicity is still called an empire).

Senator (derived from latin 'senex', old man) is replaced by the title of Archon. Rather than have a senate, the Archons would gather as a Council.

Other greek titles should be favored: a Polemarch ('war archon') as Minister of War, Strategoi as generals, etc.
