How Imperial Titulature Element Order works
Check that imperial titulature elements appear in canonical order (imperator first, paterPatriae last, and under the default standard scheme also tribPotestas before consul), accepting common abbreviations IMP TR P COS PP case-insensitively. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Ordered
- True when no ordering violation was found.
- Violations
- Number of ordering violations.
- Violation list
- Human-readable violation descriptions in check order.
Limitations and assumptions
- Corpus references, formula detectors, measurements, and classifiers depend on the edition, language, script, abbreviation practice, text normalization, and preservation state. Automated output should remain linked to the diplomatic transcription and image evidence.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Retain the photograph, squeeze or scan, diplomatic transcription, provenance, dimensions, uncertainty marks, and corpus identifiers with the result. Confirm ambiguous cases against the relevant corpus, Leiden conventions, parallel inscriptions, and specialist judgment.
