Aristocratia (Rule of the Best)

Overview: The aristocracy of Cæsaries Nemus are the hereditary families that have ruled the land, to varying degrees, from the foundation of Prometheus' Chosen People in the Year of Miracles (Anno Mirabilis). While in the early years, most aristocrats were a single body, as the monarchy shifted into the republic, aristocrats diverged into upper Patrician and lower Equestrian families, the lower Equestrian families essentially being nothing more than cadet branches of their Patrician parent families.
As republic evolved into empire, the Equestrian Houses remained the official lowest tier of aristocracy, but as the Patrician Clans developed multiple tiers of upper aristocracy, the Domi Equites would come to be referred to as the Green Aristocracy, the aristocrats closest of all tiers to the average citizenry...though even that proximity is separated by several layers.
The upper aristocracy, Patricians Clans all, would develop its own tiers. The Major Clans would be known as the purple aristocracy, Minor Clans as blue, and the Imperial Clans would be known as the red aristocracy.

Gentes Maiores (Major Clans) / Ancestors: Purple (Imperial) Aristocracy. As the original aristocratic clans that led the people of Cæsaries Nemus away from ancient Troy so many millennia ago, thirty families would serve as the uncontested leadership of their nation for centuries. Their central place in Cæsaries Nemus means that they have survived the best over the course of time, with only one of the Ancestral Clans having gone extinct. While not necessarily the only Clans to be elected Consul every year, they had the wealth and power to secure any and all political office should they choose to seek it. Including the office of Imperator.

Gentes Minores (Minor Clans) / Good Men: Blue (Royal) Aristocracy. Formed at the time of the Aisymnetai, a group of ten oligarchic clans managed to amass enough wealth to form a unique and separate power base aside from the Ancestral clans. While they may, on average, have higher amounts of wealth than the Aristocratic Clans, that wealth has not allowed them to survive the passage of time...with three Oligarchic Clans of the original ten having gone extinct. While the office of Imperator may be out of their influence for the most part, it frees them to secure the most lucrative tribal provinces, and in time the first constituted Kingdoms.

Nomen Gentilicius / National Clans: Red (Noble) Aristcracy. As Cæsaries Nemus grew beyond the bounds of republic, local tribal leaders were integrated into existing families of the republican Boule. While the clans of the Gentes Maiores & Minores held power on a national basis, they could not maintain that power without the consent and local ties of the Nomen Gentilicium. For their part, the national clans wouldn't have influence outside of their particular territories without their ties to higher clans. With the 453 Clans representing the surviving members of what was once the 500-member Boule, the 417 National Clans are what remains of a body once claiming 460 members.

Liberum Tribus Domibus / Tribal Free Houses: not all Equestrian Houses are tied directly to a Patrician Clan. A hundred of the wealthiest Houses, some almost as wealthy as Imperial Clans, are tied more directly to their local Tribal Provinces. There are increasing rumors that some of these Houses are aiming at finally breaking the million Equus mark and filing with the office of Censor for upgrading their status to full Patrician Clans.
