Actually under the Republic Roman consuls typically serve in one year terms. If for military reason it is expedient to maintain continuity of command at the end of a consul’s term, he would be appointed to the position of proconsul, which allow him to continue to exercise consular authority inside a specific region or province on behalf of the actual consuls elected for that year.
