Cursus honorum: Difference between revisions

The pathway is divided into four stages: ''fundamentum'' (derived from "foundation"), encapsulates the very essence of building blocks, both in education and character. Every Caphirian citizen starts their career with physical and musical education, with the wealthiest families having private caretakers for their children. The second stage, ''patrocinium'' (lit. "sponsorship" or "patronage"), is akin to mentorship, where the aspiring politician or leader learns the ropes of the practical world under the wing of a more experienced and senior politician, gaining invaluable insights and understanding the nuances of Caphirian society.

The third stage is ''bellaticus'' (lit. "pertaining to war"), describes the importance of service and understanding the military dynamics of the Imperium. Historically, this meant mandatory service in ~~the army~~. In the contemporary world, it has evolved to encapsulate various forms of military service, whether active duty, reserves, or other roles that underline the importance of defense and strategy in Caphirian society. The fourth and final stage, ''praesidium'' ("guardianship" or "presidency"), is achieved when an individual is elected to public office and their political career officially underway. Within ''praesidium'' exists the ''curialis'', a further pathway for ambitious individuals who manage to become active participants in the core decisions and legislative processes of the Imperium. They are the crème de la crème, representing the epitome of political achievement in Caphiria, occupying some of the most coveted positions in the country.

To have held each office at the youngest possible age (''suo anno'', "in his own year") is considered a great political success. Caphirian society places extreme pride in being a ''novus homo'' ("new man"; comparable to a "self-made man"), or someone who manages to succeed through the ''cursus honorum'' despite not having any ties to the aristocracy. This emphasis on the self-made man - that success lies within the person himself and not outside conditions - is an archetype and cultural ideal of Caphiria. At its core, the ''cursus honorum'' represents a holistic journey through the realms of education, military service, and political career. This sequential progression underscores Caphirian belief that an ideal leader must not only possess theoretical knowledge but also practical experience, capable of solving both moral and economic challenges.
