The Consuls of the Roman Republic to 27 BC are given on the separate page devoted to the history of the Republic. Discussion of the office and the meaning of the abbreviations for names can be found there. Here is the continuation of the line of Consuls, which under the Empire usually represents little more than figureheads. The Emperor, indeed, frequently holds the office. After a vacant year in 477, we often only get one Consul.
Noteworthy is the Consulship of the historian Cassius Dio, a Greek from Bithynia, in 229. He is also said to have been Consul in 205 or 206, but his name is not on the main list, so perhaps he was a suffectus, which could also explain the uncertainty about the dates.
A confusing statement is made by E.J. Bickerman in his Chronology of the Ancient World, Cornell University Press, 1968, 1982:
From 534 in the West and after 541 in the East, only the emperors held the consulship. [p.69]
Yet we see in the table that this is not true. Belisarius, Justinian's great general, occurs as Consul three times; and since he was actually in Italy at the time, taking Rome, this would seem to be the appropriate office. Perhaps Bickerman has transposed East and West. Otherwise, with Basilius as Consul in 541 (whom he mentions by name, although not giving any list of Consuls after 337), he could, by his dates, only be referring to Constantinople. So perhaps it should be that only the Emperor held the Consulship after 534 in Constantinople. A list of the actual Consuls there, from 337, would clear that up.
The Consul of 510, Boethius, and of 514, Cassiodorus, are given in boldface as significant literary figures of the Ostrogothic Kingdom in Italy. Manlius Boethius, Consul of 487, was the father of the later Boethius; and both Consuls of 522 are Boethius's sons. This would confirm that we are dealing with the Roman, not the Constantinopolitan, list.
But this also bears on another issue. One assertion I have noted is that there is not a separate Constantinopolitan line of Consuls (I have certainly not seen one), but that Constantine continued only to appoint two, but one was for Rome, and other for Constantinople. This is appealing, but it does not explain why the list above should have been disrupted in 477, when there had been a disturbance in Italy (Odoacer taking over the government) but not in Constantinople. To be sure, the Emperor Zeno is the sole Consul of 479, but then we often get no more than one Westerner as Consul, men like Boethius and Cassiodorus. Either the Consulship at Constantinople tyically goes unfilled, or we are only getting the Western office holders. If Bickerman meant that only the Emperor held the Consulship at Constantinople after 534, we are missing an obvious line of Eastern Consuls before then.
Cases of the full traditional Roman tria nomina names, and more, persist much longer among the Consuls than they do with the Emperors. Consuls in Rome are often going to be Roman aristocrats, many of whom were pagans, or recently so, and retaining Roman customs longer. Even Christian Emperors, like Justin and Justinian, here at least have a "Flavius" praenômen.
This list derives from several websites, all of which are the first hits for "Late Roman Consuls" at Google. It is hard to tell where many of the lists, which duplicate each other, originated.
