See also: INTERREGNUM (See also:Lat. inter, between, and regnum, reign) , strictly a See also:period during which the normal constituted authority is in See also:abeyance, and See also:government is carried on by a temporary authority specially appointed. Though originally and specific-ally confined to the See also:sphere of See also:sovereign authority, the See also:term is commonly used by See also:analogy in other connexions for any suspension of authority, during which affairs are carried on by specially appointed persons. The term originated in See also:Rome during the See also:regal period when an interrex was appointed (traditionally by the See also:senate) to carry on the government between the See also:death of one See also:- KING

It was subsequently used in Republican times of an officer appointed to hold the See also:comitia for the election of the consuls when for some See also:reason the retiring consuls had not done so. In the regal period when the senate, instead of appointing a king, decided to appoint interreges, it divided itself into ten decuries from each of which one senator was selected. Each of these tbu acted as king for five days, and if, at the end of fifty days, no king had been elected, the rotation was renewed. It was their See also:duty to nominate a king, whose See also:appointment was then ratified or refused by the curiae. Under the See also:Republic similarly interreges acted for five days each. When the first consuls were elected (according to See also:Dionysius iv. 84 and See also:Livy i. 6o), Spurius See also:Lucretius held the comitia as interrex, and from that See also:- TIME (0. Eng.
