, strictly a See also:period during which the normal constituted authority is in See also:abeyance, and See also:government is carried on by a temporary authority specially appointed
.
Though originally and specific-ally confined to the See also:sphere of See also:sovereign authority, the See also:term is commonly used by See also:analogy in other connexions for any suspension of authority, during which affairs are carried on by specially appointed persons
.
The term originated in See also:Rome during the See also:regal period when an interrex was appointed (traditionally by the See also:senate) to carry on the government between the See also:death of one See also:- KING

It was subsequently used in Republican times of an officer appointed to hold the See also:comitia for the election of the consuls when for some See also:reason the retiring consuls had not done so
.
In the regal period when the senate, instead of appointing a king, decided to appoint interreges, it divided itself into ten decuries from each of which one senator was selected
.
Each of these tbu acted as king for five days, and if, at the end of fifty days, no king had been elected, the rotation was renewed
.
It was their See also:duty to nominate a king, whose See also:appointment was then ratified or refused by the curiae
.
Under the See also:Republic similarly interreges acted for five days each
