Consilium principis

The consilium principis (advisers to the princeps) was a council created by the first Roman Emperor, Augustus, in the latter years of his reign to control legislation in the deliberative institution of the Senate.[1] The princeps (from Latin, meaning "first man") was another title for the emperor.
