CONTE ROYAL - IDENTITY

   

CONTE ROYAL

The Trademark wants to transmit the importance of the noble title “Conte”: it derives from the Latin comes, comitis - pl. Comites, literally "companion" and took various roles in history: in particular it was a title used for imperial officials, for responsibilities and noble privileges or for those who had followed the emperor in his battle and had distinguished himself for some merit.

Comes (pl. Comites) initially indicated only those who accompany another (from "cum-eo", that is: "I go with"). From this Latin root derives not only the Italian word "conte", but also others, including "rally". According to the Glossarium mediae et infimae latinitatis del Du Cange (cf. II, pp. 422-430), which in turn quotes the Tillemont, in the last days of the empire of Augustus the emperor called some senators to the palace with the role of advisers, officials or ministers. Since the institution of the empire had not yet been consolidated and the senate's supreme dignity had to be respected, he simply called them Caesaris comites, that is, "companions of the emperor".

This terminology also remained in the following centuries for imperial officials: the finance minister, for example, was called comes sacrarum et privatarum elargitionum. Even the consuls were sometimes called comites, not so much because they were two, but because in imperial age they were also an authority subordinated to the emperor.

When imperial officials were sent to hold a province, they were called comites of that province to indicate that they governed it with the authority implicit in the function of "companions of the emperor". The feudal title "count" originates precisely from this transformation, which, by binding the title of comes to the territory, made it forget its original meaning.
