'''Imperium''' can, in a broad sense, be translated as ''[[Power (sociology)|power]]''. In [[antiquity]] this concept could apply to the [[people]], and mean something like "power status" or [[authority]], or could be used with a [[Geography|geographical]] [[connotation]] and mean something like "[[Territory (country subdivision)|territory]]". It is not to be confused with [[auctoritas]] ("authority"). | '''Imperium''' can, in a broad sense, be translated as ''[[Power (sociology)|power]]''.
