In ancient Rome, royalty was addressed in a number of different ways. The most common way to address a member of the royal family was simply by their name.

Some of the most common titles used to address royalty in ancient Rome include “Your Highness” and “Your Majesty.”<\/p>\n

Most of the ancient world had some form of royalty, whether it be an Emperor, King, or Queen. In Rome, the Emperor was considered to be a god, and so he was addressed as “your divine Majesty,” or simply “Majesty.” Other members of the royal family were addressed with more affection, such as “my lord” or “my lady.”<\/p>\n

By Trajan’s day, it was the common form of address to the emperor. In the Latin church, Dominus was used as the equivalent of the Hebrew Adonai and the Greek Kyrios, to refer to the Christian God. Dominus in medieval Latin referred to the “lord” of a territory or the overlord of a vassal.<\/p>\n
