two?

What is the word to describe two kings/leaders ruling together? If Triumvirate is worthy of an article, surely this would also be. The example that springs to my mind is Thyestes and Atreus, Kings of Mycenae, from Greek mythology. Mat334 15:31, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I also believe Agamemnon and Menelaus may qualify. Mat334 17:31, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I see it has been added. Thanks. Mat334 01:16, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  - So what was the word? Oligarchy? Ancient Sparta also had a government system with two kings. Chaozu42 (talk) 17:17, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

three-man presidency

Could the three-man presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina be regarded as a modern-day triumvirate? I've always thought of it as such, but I don't ever remember seeing the word used in the context, even though it would seem logical according to my understanding of it. — Trilobite (Talk) 14:59, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Powers of a triumvirate

This article is should discuss the special powers individuals possess in a triumvirate. For instance, the Octavian/Antonius/Lepidus triumvirate was legally constituted and granted each triumvir certain priveleges.

Anon edit in favor of New York state government

I noticed that an anon pointed out that there is an effective triumvirate in the government of the State of New York, which is interesting. The "three men in a room" head the executive branch, senate, and lower house, and two are currently Republicans and one is a Democrat. They constitute a triumvirate because of the effective command that legislative leaders wield over their bodies. It is currently elections seasons, apparently a fine time for brinkmanship between two of the three triumvirs, who have been butting heads with one another over various items, including Moynihan Station. — Rickyrab | Talk 17:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to ask

I just wanted to ask what the term for ONE would technicly be.New Babylon

Your question is easily enough answered. The word "triumvirate" comes from the Latin - "three men," just as the article says. The word for "one" man would be simply "vir." Essentially, you would simply be saying, "I am a vir," or "I am a man." If you are asking what the name is for one of the members of a triumvirate, that is "triumvir." "I am a triumvir," means that you are one of the members of a triumvirate. Hope this helps. --TheTriumvir 20:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bavarian triumvirate

Article could mention the triumvirate formed by the three vons: Gustav Ritter von Kahr, Hans von Seisser and Otto von Lossow. These were the men who ruled in Bavaria in 1923, when Hitler tried his coup in that beer hall in Munich.--Ukas (talk) 23:18, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
