Senator Minerva

Description

What privileges does one enjoy as a Senator or Lady in the Order of Minerva?

First of all, you become a member of the Minerva Order with the Senator title and may now officially use the order's name. Whether on stationery, the business card or the front door sign, the senator title may now be used as an official name. It is also possible to use the name of the Order on identity cards or other documents. However, please always use the order name in conjunction with the order. "Senator Peter Meyer" is not allowed and could even be punishable by law. Please use your title only in this way: Peter Meyer - Senator of the Order of Minerva

How do you get the title of Senator in the Order of Minerva?
First you need to specify your desired order name, for example, you can use your current name and the title Senator will be appended to your original name. But you can also be creative and come up with your very own order name. Afterwards you will receive a certificate of appointment in noble historical style, information about the Order of Minerva, information about the title of Senator as an order name and if necessary an entry in your identity papers, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee that your order name will be transferred into the identity papers, because unfortunately there is no legal claim on it. First of all, you should enter your real name, or the name of the person who is to receive the gift, in the field below, and next to it you should immediately note the name of the order you have chosen. Finally, both names will be printed on the certificate of appointment.

What does the title Senator mean?
The Senate acted as the supreme council in the Holy Roman Empire, and its members were known as Senators. Its role was merely to advise the ruler, but it has always been known that the Senate was the real center of power in the Holy Roman Empire. Most senators were of noble descent, but there were also commoners, who were usually only allowed to hold the lower offices in the senate.
