From the "Non-Presidential Titles" thread, someone brought up the possibility of bringing back Roman-style titles like Praetor and Consul.

This got me thinking, what if the early United States became incredibly enamored with Ancient Roman culture, including titles, names, and etc? To the point where the US adopts several facets of the Roman Republic?

Could we have a Consul George Washington of the American Republic? As for a PoD where this could happen... Perhaps Benjamin Franklin swings by Italy while cavorting around France, and likes the idea of the colonies being a 'republican' successor to ancient Rome?
