''Cursus honorum'' is the Latin term for the standard political career. A ''cursus'' is literally a race, or a race-track; ''honores'' are 'honours' or 'offices'. Political offices were traditionally held in a certain order. This system developed over the first centuries of the republic and was for a long time purely customary, though it was gradually codified in law.

The original ''cursus'' contained only four offices: [[Quaestor (Nova Roma)|Quaestor]], [[Praetor (Nova Roma)|Praetor]], [[Consul (Nova Roma)|Consul]], and [[Censor (Nova Roma)|Censor]]. They were almost always held in that order, and by the middle republic it was rare for any stage to be omitted.

These continued to be the only offices which were part of the technical ''cursus'', but it also became common for other offices to be held in addition: [[Aedilis Plebis (Nova Roma)|Aedilis Plebis]], [[Aedilis Curulis (Nova Roma)|Aedilis Curulis]], and [[Tribunus Plebis (Nova Roma)|Tribunus Plebis]]. A Roman would usually hold at least one of these offices, usually after being [[Quaestor (Nova Roma)|Quaestor]] and before being [[Praetor (Nova Roma)|Praetor]], but sometimes before being [[Quaestor (Nova Roma)|Quaestor]].

One might also include the lowest elected offices such as the [[Vigintisexviri (Nova Roma)|Vigintisexviri]] as part of the ''cursus'' in its broad sense.

It was usual to leave at least a year between one office and the next.
