A consul is an official representative of the government of one state in the territory of another, normally acting to assist and protect the citizens of the consul's own country, and to facilitate trade and friendship between the people of the two countries.
 A consul is distinguished from an ambassador, the latter being a representative from one head of state to another.
 There can be only one ambassador from one country to another, representing the first country's head of state to that of the second, and his or her duties revolve around diplomatic relations between the two countries; however, there may be several consuls, one in each of several main cities, providing assistance with bureaucratic issues to both the citizens of the consul's own country traveling or living abroad and to the citizens of the country in which the consul resides who wish to travel to or trade with the consul's country.

 Marcus Atilius Regulus agreed to accompany the consuls of 216 BC, Gaius Terentius Varro and Lucius Aemilius Paullus, along with the other surviving former consul of 217 BC, Gnaeus Servilius Geminus, when an army of 80,000 Romans and allies was amassed together to smash the Carthaginian army under Hannibal.
 The historian Polybius records that both he and Servilius died fighting bravely at the Battle of Cannae.
Opéra-ballet (French; plural: "opéras-ballets") was a popular genre of French Baroque lyric theatre, combining elements of opera and ballet, "that grew out of the "ballets à entrées" of the early seventeenth century".
 It differed from the more elevated "tragédie en musique" as practised by Jean-Baptiste Lully in several ways.
 It contained more dance music than the "tragédie", and the plots were not necessarily derived from classical mythology and allowed for the comic elements, which Lully had excluded from the "tragédie en musique" after "Thésée" (1675).
 The "opéra-ballet" consisted of a prologue followed by a number of self-contained acts (also known as "entrées"), often loosely grouped around a single theme.
 The individual acts could also be performed independently, in which case they were known as "actes de ballet".

 2nd century) was a Roman senator who was appointed consul twice, firstly as suffect consul prior to AD 183, and secondly as ordinary consul in AD 196.

Les surprises de l'Amour is an "opéra-ballet" in two "entrées" (three or four in later versions) and a prologue by the French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau.
 It was first performed in Versailles on 27 November 1748.
 The opera is set to a libretto by Gentil-Bernard.
 According to the usage of the time, it was originally just billed as a ""ballet"" and was only later classified by scholars as an "opéra-ballet", although its content might more precisely ascribe it to the ballet héroïque genre.
