Dux

Di Republik Romawi, dux adalah sebutan bagi orang yang memimpin pasukan, termasuk orang asing, tetapi dux bukanlah pangkat militer resmi. Dalam menulis karyanya, Commentarii de Bello Gallico, mengenai Perang Galia, Julius Caesar menggunakan istilah dux hanya bagi para jenderal Kelt, dengan pengecualian bagi komandan Romawi yang tak memegang pangkat resmi.^[1]
